Senjutsu

Senjutsu (, "Tactics") is the seventeenth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 3 September 2021. Their first studio album in six years (and their last one to date), it was a critical and commercial success, praised for its ambitious epic scope. Two singles, "The Writing on the Wall" and "Stratego", were released to promote the album.

==Overview== Senjutsu is the band's first studio album in nearly six years (although having been put on hold for well over two years), following 2015's The Book of Souls, marking the longest gap between two Iron Maiden studio albums. This is also their second studio double album, and their first studio album since 1984's Powerslave to have no songwriting contributions from guitarist Dave Murray in any way, as well as the first since 1998's Virtual XI to feature multiple songs written by bassist Steve Harris alone.
