Après 6 ans d’absence en terme de création musicale, le légendaire groupe aux 100 millions de disques vendue et aux 2000 concerts, Iron Maiden, annonce la sortie de son nouvel album : Senjutsu. Quelques jours après avoir sortit le single The Writing On The Wall, Iron Maiden officialise donc la venue de son dix septième album.
Enregistré pendant une pause du Legacy Tour en 2019, Senjutsu a été conçu au studio Guillaume Tell près de Paris. C’est d’ailleurs la bas que leur dernier opus, The Book Of Soul, avait également été enregistré.
Steve Harris commente : « We chose to record at Guillaume Tell Studio in France again as the place has such a relaxed vibe. The setup there is perfect for our needs; the building used to be a cinema and has a really high ceiling so there’s a great acoustic sound. We recorded this album in the same way we did The Book Of Souls in that we’d write a song, rehearse it and then put it down together straight away while it was all fresh in our minds. There’s some very complex songs on this album which took a lot of hard work to get them exactly as we wanted them to sound, so the process was at times very challenging, but Kevin is great 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 fans to hear it. »
Le double album Senjutsu sera disponible en pré-commande dès ce 21 juillet et sortira officiellement le 3 septembre.
