Summary

Senjutsu (Japanese: 戦術, loosely translated as "tactics and strategy") is the seventeenth studio album by Iron Maiden, released on 3 September 2021.

The album was recorded in 2019 at Guillaume Tell Studios in Paris, but its release was delayed due to the COVID-19 shit show.

It is the band's second double album and their first studio album in six years (following The Book of Souls), marking the longest gap between two studio albums in their career.

The cover art, by Mark Wilkinson, features Eddie as a samurai, inspired by the album's title track.
