Iron Maiden has released the “special effects” version of their music video for their latest single, “The Writing On The Wall”. The song, which was written by the band's guitarist Adrian Smith and lead singer Bruce Dickinson, produced by Kevin Shirley and co-produced by bassist and founder-member Steve Harris, is taken from the band's upcoming album, “Senjutsu.”
Dickinson opened up about the concept of the video, telling Blabbermouth, “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!:
He continued, “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!!”
