Senjutsu - 3rd September 2021

[Crazypants]

After finally getting my fc118 I got the feeling Wilkinson was leaving on his own terms. Since there was an FC article that vaguely discussed it I'm assuming there's no Riggs level of animosity between Maiden and Wilkerson. He definitely has other sources of income though I really hope he never touches Judge Dredd again.

Well that's sad news. His work in Maiden was quite elegant and I was really hoping he would stick for a while.

I hope he comes back. He’s my second favorite artist behind Riggs. On the other hand, maybe the next Maiden album cover will be a busier one, since Book of Souls and Senjutsu kinda form a pair.

I do like Melvyn Grant. He’s ok I guess. He can make a cover if he wants. I’ll allow it.

Maybe it will be Hervé Monjeaud who will be the next cover artworks illustrator for Maiden.

Who that is?

He's the illustrator of the events and cities t-shirts mainly

Yeah, and the one who did the 'Nights Of The Dead, Legacy Of The Beast, Live In Mexico' CD artwork and some others. Here is the complete list of his work for different bands, including Iron Maiden : https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/2232676-Hervé-Monjeaud

Not sure if @Perun approves or disapproves of Monjeaud…

I think they will hire some of them like this time. Wilkinson for the main illustrations and Akirant for the Mags and promotion

Thanks. Although I don't like these days I wish you Merry Xmas to you too and all the mates here in maidenfans.

…And btw I would like to see a message from the band in the official website wishing the fans Merry Xmas… I don't know but something weird is happening there.

If I am not mistaken, Nights Of The Dead is by Akirant, not by Monjeaud.

 

[GhostofCain]

Merry festive break and happy New Year to all!

 

[TheMercenary]

If I am not mistaken, Nights Of The Dead is by Akirant, not by Monjeaud.

You're right. I've just verified this in the 'NoTD' booklet.

You can see all the illustrations made by Hervé here : https://www.facebook.com/herve.monjeaud/photos_by

You're welcome and thanks to you too. Btw, for some personal reasons, I don't like Christmas and Holidays so much too...

And yeah, there's something strange happening in Maiden camp...

Might have something to do with next year’s tour hanging in the balance…

Maybe yes, maybe not... Don't know... But, I think that the 3rd and last leg of the LOTB world tour won't happen because of the new restrictions coming worldwide...

I think that would be the case, especially if being vaccinated continues to be a requisite to enter some countries.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

So, if the situation ain't getting better in the coming months, do you thing this could evolve like this:
All the 2022 dates will be postponed and then the tour will be turned into new album tour (instead of Legacy Of The Beast) and more dates will be added.

 

[The_7th_one]

They have 3 months to decide what to do before rehearsals in April. I think they will have to cancel the first part of the tour at least. But I'm sure they are working in other options.
If they have to cancel the tour I hope they go to Paris or Bahamas and make another album
