The song was written by guitarist ADRIAN SMITH and lead singer BRUCE DICKINSON, who had a concept for the video which came to fruition in collaboration with two Award-winning former PIXAR executives and MAIDEN fans MARK ANDREWS and ANDREW GORDON. DICKINSON said, “I had a pretty clear idea of the concept to accompany the song and when I met MARK and ANDREW, on ZOOM, it quickly became clear we were all very much on the same wavelength, and this was reinforced with the addition of NICOS and his young BLINKINK team. Our weekly team ZOOM meetings were then usually both highly creative and a lot of fun! I’m very proud of the way the video turned out, it’s more like a mini-film really. I knew it was going to work out as soon as MARK brought my treatment to life with his incredible storyboards – I thought we could make something very special together. I think we did and hope our fans will agree. In fact, it’s pretty much created by MAIDEN fans!!”
The brand new double album, SENJUTSU, their first in six years, will be out on SEPTEMBER 3rd. It was recorded in PARIS with longstanding producer KEVIN SHIRLEY and co-produced by STEVE HARRIS.
