Iron Maiden have released their first new music in six years, along with an epic music video.

After teasing something new all week, the band dropped “The Writing On The Wall”, a seven-minute epic with an animated video that features band mascot Eddie as a fireball-throwing samurai.

It remains to be seen what the band meant with its cryptic invitations to ‘Belshazzar’s Feast’. Perhaps the title of a new album?
