Iron Maiden's new, 17th studio album "Senjutsu" in 2021. It is the follow-up to their number one album "The Book Of Souls" from 2015, making it their first long player in six years. The British hard rock and heavy metal icons recorded the record in Paris with their longtime producer Kevin Shirley. Steve Harris served as co-producer. A total of ten songs made it onto "Senjutsu". With a playing time of just under 82 minutes, the album comes, like its predecessor, as a double CD or triple vinyl album. Bassist Steve Harris on the album: "We decided to record at Guillaume Tell Studio in France again because that place just has such a relaxed vibe. The setup there suits our needs perfectly; the building used to be a cinema and has a very high ceiling, which makes for a fantastic acoustic sound. We recorded this album in the same way as 'The Book Of Souls', which is to write a song, practice it and record it straight together while everything is still fresh in our minds. There are some very complex songs on this album that took a lot of hard work to get their sound the way we wanted it, so the process was quite a challenge at times, but Kevin is very good at capturing the essence of the band and I think it was worth the effort! I'm very proud of the result and can't wait for the fans to hear it."
