Albumet ble spilt inn i Compass Point Studios, hvor bandet tidligere har spilt inn Piece Of Mind (1983), Powerslave (1984) og Somewhere In Time (1986).

Sitater fra bandet:

“‘El Dorado’ is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our Final Frontier World Tour, we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into The Final Frontier mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release.”
Vokalist Bruce Dickinson om den nye låten "El Dorado" som nå kan lastes ned gratis fra bandets hjemmeside

“We’re hugely excited about this tour. I think the fans will really like the brand new stage production and lights and we will also be debuting one of the new album tracks, ‘El Dorado’. Eddie has changed a bit for this tour but is possibly the most outrageous one to date. I can’t say too much about him as don’t want to spoil the surprise but I guarantee he will scare the hell out of you!”
Bassist og grunnleggende medlem Steve Harris om turneen, den nye låten og den nye Eddie.

“The studio had the same vibe and it was EXACTLY as it had been in 1983, NOTHING had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner...same carpet....everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album”
Bruce Dickinson om innspillingen av The Final Frontier i Compass Point Studios.
