Iron Maiden release a live package, recorded on their most recent bout of touring, on November 17. Produced by Tony Newton and Maiden bass player Steve Harris, The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter is available via Warner Music on CD, deluxe CD and vinyl audio formats, and a concert film is available to stream free online or as a digital download.

As this issue went to press, all four members of Polish death metal band Decapitated were being held in custody in the US on charges of kidnapping and rape. They stand accused of assaulting a woman on their tour bus following a show in Spokane, Washington. They plan to contest all of the allegations brought against them.

Singer Mitchel Emms has left The Treatment to pursue other ventures. The split is completely amicable. Currently writing a follow-up to their third album, last year’s Generation Me, the Cambridge band are looking for a replacement with “a great voice, a killer attitude and a passion for rock‘n’roll”.

A new bookazine, titled 100 Greatest Rock Albums Of All Time (pictured) is set to reveal the best-ever rock releases, as voted for by the readers of Classic Rock. It’s on sale on October 28, priced £9.99.

Bob Seger says he is releasing a new studio album in November. The 72-year-old singer’s last release was Ride Out in 2014.
