Iron Maiden – Senjutsu

Metal efsanesi Iron Maiden ‘Senjutsu’ adındaki 17. stüdyo albümünü 3 Eylül’de yayımlıyor.

‘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.’ – Steve Harris

‘We’re all really excited about this album. We recorded it back in early 2019 during a break in the Legacy tour so we could maximize our touring yet still have a long set up period before release to prepare great album art and something special as a video. Of course the pandemic delayed things more – so much for the best laid plans – or should that be ‘strategies’!? The songs are very varied, and some of them are quite long. There’s also one or two songs which sound pretty different to our usual style, and I think Maiden fans will be surprised – in a good way, I hope!’ – Bruce Dickinson

Japonca’dan ‘taktikler ve strateji’ olarak çevrilebilen ‘Senjutsu’, samuraylardan ilham alan savaşın sanatı olarak tanımlanabilir. 2019 yılında kayıt edilmeye başlandı. Korona virüs salgını nedeniyle gecikme yaşadı.

1975 yılında kurulan Iron Maiden, 80’li yıllarda çıkardıkları albümleriyle Heavy Metal türünün en özgün gruplarından birisiydi. Bas gitarist Steve Harris‘in progresif rock hayranlığı sayesinde Iron Maiden parçaları alışılan Heavy Metal müzikten bir hayli farklı oldu. Albümleri konsept olarak yayımlandı.

Son albümünü 2015 yılında çıkaran Iron Maiden, 82 dakikalık ‘Senjutsu‘ albümünü 2 CD halinde Parlophone Records etiketiyle 3 Eylül 2021‘de yayımlayacak.
