Brave New World is the twelfth studio album by Iron Maiden released on the 30th of May, 2000 (see 2000 in music). It marked the return of longtime lead singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith to the band. It was also the band's first studio recording with three guitar players, as Janick Gers stayed with the band. The album was a success with the fans, and "The Wicker Man", "Ghost of the Navigator", "Brave New World" and "Blood Brothers" are all established as band classics.

The album art and title song are references to the novel of the same name written by Aldous Huxley.

The songs "The Wicker Man" and "Out of the Silent Planet" were both released as singles.
