Maintaining the stark black backdrop from The Book Of Souls - with an expression and posture echoing Killers, where TBOS echoed the debut sleeve - our hero manifests in terrifying Samurai form, ready to captivate a new generation of wide-eyed youth. With an extra pair of fangs poking through bloody gums, battered metallic battledress, copious bloodstaining and an arsenal of weaponry at hand, Senjutsu is Eddie at his most flat-out bloodthirsty, shit-scary.

Being sucked into a computer universe seemingly works wonders on our hero’s teeth, displaying a straighter and whiter set of gnashers here than we've ever seen in Eddie's 'ead before. For Speed Of Light, the first single from Maiden's sixteenth studio album, Eddie was reimagined as a digi-hopping game invader, popping up in all manner of classic era video game archetypes as he battled his way through til the bitter end.
