Studio Guillaume Tell is a large-format recording studio in Suresnes, just outside Paris, founded in 1986 by Roland Guillotel. The facility is best known for its expansive live rooms and its origins in an older cinema/theatre building, which helped shape its reputation for recording sessions that benefit from natural space and ambience. Over the decades it has been used for major album sessions as well as film and orchestral work, and it remains one of the better-known high-end studios in the Paris area.
Ozzy Osbourne – Ozzmosis (1995)
Ozzmosis was recorded during 1994–1995 and is credited in part to sessions at Studio Guillaume Tell, alongside additional recording work in New York and Woodstock. Produced by Michael Beinhorn, the album marked Ozzy Osbourne’s mid-1990s studio return and featured Zakk Wylde on guitar, with Geezer Butler on bass and Rick Wakeman contributing keyboards.
Iron Maiden – Brave New World (2000)
“Brave New World” was recorded at Studio Guillaume Tell and is closely associated with Iron Maiden’s return-era sound at the start of the 2000s. The album is explicitly credited as recorded at Studio Guillaume Tell in release documentation, and session databases also place the recording period at the studio across 1999–2000.
Iron Maiden – The Book of Souls (2015)
“The Book of Souls” was recorded at Studio Guillaume Tell, with the band returning to the studio for what became their first double studio album. Contemporary write-ups and later overviews of the record repeatedly link the album’s sessions to Studio Guillaume Tell in Paris/Suresnes.
Iron Maiden – Senjutsu (2021)
“Senjutsu” was recorded at Studio Guillaume Tell during 2019 (during a break in the band’s touring schedule), continuing the studio’s connection to Iron Maiden’s modern-era catalogue. The studio location is stated in coverage of the album’s recording and in release database credits.
