Parlophone Records is thrilled to announce the release of IRON MAIDEN’s 17th studio album Senjutsu, their first in 6 years, on September 3rd. It was recorded in Paris with longstanding producer Kevin Shirley and co-produced by Steve Harris.
It was preceded on Thursday 15th July by an already highly acclaimed animated video for the first single ‘The Writing On The Wall’ made by BlinkInk based on a concept by Bruce Dickinson with two former Pixar Executives. It followed a month-long teaser campaign & global ‘treasure hunt’ for clues about the track title and concept.
For Senjutsu – loosely translated as ‘tactics & strategy’, the band once again enlisted the services of Mark Wilkinson to create the spectacular Samurai themed cover artwork, based on an idea by Steve Harris.

As a prog rock fan this hits the mark. Some new colours added to the palette keep things fresh here and there. Maiden continue on the post 2000's path. If you are looking for a return to shorter catchy straight ahead rockers I'd say this is not for you. Fans of the last 5 albums will be right at home here. Production is a little lacking in top end for me, but on first listen I like this album. These guys are continuing to produce great music. UP THE IRONS
