Warner Music Group has used the last visit to Germany by legendary British metal icons Iron Maiden to present them with the Gold Award for their album „Senjutsu“. The studio album, which was released in 2021 and went straight to No. 1, remained in the Top 5 of the Official German Album Charts for four consecutive weeks in September; it spent a total of 29 weeks in the album charts. This is Iron Maiden’s sixth consecutive gold award with their sixth album in Germany.
In the fall of 2022, the album „The Number Of The Beast“ was released as a triple vinyl for the 40th anniversary, including the vinyl premiere of „Beast Over Hammersmith“, the recording of the legendary show at the Hammersmith Odeon as part of the „Beast On The Road World Tour“ in March 1982.
The release of „Senjutsu“ was followed directly after the „Legacy Of The Beast (World) Tour“ (2018 – 2022) by the no less successful „The Future Past Tour“ (since 2023). Tour promoter WIZARD sold a quarter of a million tickets for both tours in Germany alone. The Future Past Tour will take the band to the USA, South America, Australia, Canada, Japan and Brazil, among other places, until the end of 2024.
