The band "Airbourne" announced a new self-titled album and released a new single called "Alive After Death". The album is due out on August 22 via Spinefarm Records, and it will be the band's sixth studio album and the first since "Boneshaker" from 2019.

In addition, the project is accompanied by a series of visualizers for almost all of the album's songs, with a uniform design line. The song is taken from the album "To The 5 Boroughs", originally released on June 15, 2004, and written by band members Michael Diamond, Adam Yauch and Adam Horovitz.

Frontman Tyson Ritter referred to the song as part of a new era for the act, after years of partial activity and breaks.

The band "Iron Maiden" does not intend to take part in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in 2026.
Despite another nomination for the Hall of Fame, the band members made it clear they have no interest in taking part in the event, continuing a critical line they have held toward the institution for years.
Bassist Steve Harris has noted in the past that the band sees no special importance in this kind of recognition, and has always preferred to focus on the audience and the music itself.
