Iron Maiden revient en force, avec le titre The Writing On The Wall, magnifiquement mis en image par le studio Blinkink et des anciens des studios Pixar. Ce single est le premier du groupe depuis plus de 6 ans et a été écrit par le guitarist Adrian Smith et Bruce Dickinson. Il est produit par Kevin Shirley et co-produit par le bassiste et membre originel, Steve Harris. L’impressionnante vidéo d’animation a été, à l’origine, imaginée par Dickinson lui même, dévoilant une nouvelle incarnation du personnage d’Eddie.
Bruce Dickinson commente : « I had a pretty clear idea of the concept to accompany the song and when I met Mark and Andrew, on Zoom, it quickly became clear we were all very much on the same wavelength, and this was reinforced with the addition of Nicos and his young BlinkInk team. Our weekly team Zoom meetings were then usually both highly creative and a lot of fun! I’m very proud of the way the video turned out, it’s more like a mini-film really. I knew it was going to work out as soon as Mark brought my treatment to life with his incredible storyboards – I thought we could make something very special together. I think we did and hope our fans will agree. In fact it’s pretty much created by Maiden fans!! «
