Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has expressed his desire to record a new album with the legendary heavy metal band — but bassist and founding member Steve Harris doesn’t seem entirely convinced just yet. The revelation has sparked curiosity among fans about whether the group will continue their decades-long legacy with another studio project.

In a recent conversation, Dickinson hinted that he’s eager to return to the studio, suggesting that Iron Maiden still have more creative energy to share. He emphasized that the band thrives on new challenges and that making new music is one of the ways they stay inspired after so many years on the road. For Dickinson, the idea of another album feels like a natural continuation of their journey, especially after the success of their most recent record, Senjutsu.

However, Steve Harris, known for his thoughtful approach to the band’s direction, appears to be taking a more cautious stance. While he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of another album, he’s reportedly weighing the group’s future plans carefully. With Iron Maiden’s demanding tour schedules and decades of intense recording history, Harris seems focused on ensuring that any next step feels meaningful rather than rushed.

Fans have been vocal about their hopes for a new release, especially as Iron Maiden continue to draw massive crowds around the world. Many believe the band still have plenty of creative fire left and would welcome one more album to add to their legendary discography.

Whether or not a new Iron Maiden record materializes, both Dickinson and Harris remain committed to giving fans their all. As the group reflects on over forty years of groundbreaking music, the discussion of another album serves as a reminder that Iron Maiden’s spirit — built on passion, power, and unity — is far from fading.
