Special Edition of the seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
The first band's album in six years, following "The Book Of Souls" (2015), marking the longest gap between two Iron Maiden studio albums. This is also their second studio double album, and their first studio album since "Powerslave" (1984) to have no songwriting contributions from guitarist Dave Murray in any way, as well as the first since "Virtual XI" (1998) to feature multiple songs written by bassist Steve Harris alone.
The album got 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.
The album "Senjutsu" marks the second use of the band's original logotype (with the extended letters R, M and N) on a studio album cover, since "The X Factor" (1995), the previous one being for "The Book Of Souls" (2015). The album cover by Mark Wilkinson presents Eddie dressed up as a samurai and holding a katana.
"Senjutsu" was in the Top 3 bestsellers in the USA (the highest in the group's history so far), Australia, Ireland, Great Britain (first on the lists in Wales and Scotland), Singapore, Israel, UAE, Japan, The Netherlands, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Montenegro, Poland, Estonia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nepal, Honduras, Uruguay, Cyprus, Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Luxembourg, Taiwan, Malta and Ukraine. In total, the album reached the top three bestsellers in 55 countries around the world and the Top 5 bestsellers in 63 countries. The album was ranked second on the world music charts. It's also given the band its highest chart position in the US, debuting at number three on Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and number one on Billboard's Physical Albums Chart.
"Senjutsu" turned out to be a tremendous achievement, strengthening the band's brand on the global music market.
