Senjutsu is a powerful and ambitious addition to Iron Maiden’s legendary discography. Released in 2021, this double album sees the band embracing epic storytelling, thunderous riffs, and grandiose compositions, all while exploring themes of war, legacy, and resilience.

The album blends the band's classic heavy metal energy with progressive structures and cinematic atmospheres, showcasing Iron Maiden’s continued evolution even after decades in the game.
A commanding statement from one of metal’s most enduring acts, Senjutsu proves Iron Maiden’s creative fire still burns bright.
