Iron Maiden Release Brand New Track “Stratego” From Upcoming Album ‘Senjutsu’

Legendary rockers Iron Maiden are back with a vengeance! “Stratego” is the second track from Maiden’s long-awaited, 17th studio album, Senjutsu which is being released globally on September 3rd. It’s one of two songs on the 10 track, 82 minutes long album written by guitarist Janick Gers and founder member/ bassist Steve Harris. Recorded back in 2019 again at Guillaume Tell studios in Paris, the track was produced by Kevin ‘Caveman’ Shirley & co-produced by Steve Harris.

For Senjutsu – loosely translated as ‘tactics & strategy,’ the band once again enlisted the services of Mark Wilkinson to create the spectacular Samurai themed cover artwork, based on an idea by Steve Harris. With a running time of a little under 82 minutes, Senjutsu, like their previous record The Book Of Souls, will be a double CD/Triple vinyl album.
