IRON MAIDEN release short film about the making of new album Senjutsu

11 August 2021

IRON MAIDEN have released a short film about the making of their new album, Senjutsu.

Filmed at Guillaume Tell Studio in Paris - where the band recorded 2015's The Book of Souls - the video features short clips of bassist Steve Harris, singer Bruce Dickinson and longtime producer Kevin Shirley talking about the album.

"It's been a very, very good experience," says Bruce. "I think this is a better album than Book Of Souls. I really do. I haven't heard it all back yet because I've been in the middle of doing it."

"I think it's more complex than Book Of Souls," he continues. "It's certainly more varied. And I think there'll be a genuine couple of surprises. There's one of two songs that'll have people going, 'Eh? Is that Iron Maiden?'"

Senjutsu features 10 tracks, including recently-released single The Writing On The Wall. Titled after a Japanese term loosely translated as ‘tactics and strategy‘, and most commonly applied in combat situations, Senjutsu features Samurai-themed cover artwork, based on an idea by Harris.
