Renowned around the world as one of the greatest and most distinctive heavy metal vocalists of all time, Bruce Dickinson is best known as the lead singer of the iconic British band, Iron Maiden, who he joined in 1981 and who have sold well over 100 million albums. He has also become globally renowned as an author, pilot, broadcaster, brewer, businessman, sportsman, spoken-word performer, screenwriter and internationally successful solo artist.
His first solo album, Tattooed Millionaire, was released in May 1990, with its follow-up Balls To Picasso four years later (1994). It was on this second album that Dickinson first started working with guitarist Roy Z and despite a one album hiatus, he was joined again by him for all his subsequent solo studio albums - Accident Of Birth (1997), The Chemical Wedding (1998) and Tyranny Of Souls (2005).
Always on the back burner was a desire to create another solo musical project and in 2021 Dickinson finally had the opportunity to focus on that anew. He turned once more to Roy Z to work on some unfinished ideas together and that rapidly became his forthcoming seventh studio album: The Mandrake Project

Probably the only metal performer that i would buy an album from without ever hearing a single note from it. Waiting for you Bruce!

[@alex.t76]

Iron Maiden and Bruce. Correct

[@tomh9315]

Agreed! Plus Roy Z producing again!

[@-ccp-]

True (after Iron Maiden).

[@JM-54321]

Sorry, to each his own, but IM is a money maker, they are a victim of their own success. They try, and it is good, but IMHO, the solo career is much more interesting and in depth. @@-ccp-

[@juhpaa]

Not only to me

[@Migsterxoxo]

Go Bruce! Accident and Chemical Weeding were some of the best metal of the whole 90's

[@crusheverything4449]

I’d say of all-time, easily!!

[@gibtherockeryt]

you DAMN RIGHT they were! Tyranny of Souls was no slouch either

[@plantpoweredhealth9383]

Yep Chemical Wedding nothing out of place, so perfect

[@MauricioLJ]

absolutely agree!!!!

[@crusheverything4449]

@@plantpoweredhealth9383 - While I like The Chemical Wedding just a bit more, I can’t find fault with Accident of Birth. Both are simply incredible albums, just bursting with genre-defining music, singing, lyrics, writing and artwork. An amazing achievement. Looking forward to The Mandrake Project in its entirety, which is sure to push the metal genre even further. Hats off to Bruce and Roy - artists for The Ages!

[@megabaneen8057]

This is why physical copies are so much better than digital copies because of the artwork You're holding something tangible with digital you can just delete it and forget about it. Thanks Dickinson for keeping physical copies alive and albums and believing in artwork and in people who create the artwork.. I LOVE Iron Maiden for their theatrical live shows and music. Super huge fan of Bruce Dickinson from the very beginning his music. Now I get to enjoy Ragnarok. Excellent work sir. Gentleman and a scholar!!!

[@hga9088]

Exactly right, Brother

[@jaredf6205]

I still remember the first time I heard someone play a vinyl record and turned it off while still playing, they turned off the speakers and I could still hear the music from just the vibrations of the needle on the plastic and that blew me away so hard.

[@ValensHawke]

I have waited 18 years for another Bruce solo album... Best news of 2023

[@TheChadTI]

Can't wait. Loved all his solo albums. (studio and live)

just a man, not a god. Will die and get rotten as anybody else. Talented dude though.

[@szeleddie]

​@@HarryZurkYou will first that's for sure!!! You CAN'T outlive a GOD!!! Good luck!!!

[@HarryZurk]

@@szeleddie I like Bruce, love much of his music, but he's just a flawed human as us. You , me and Bruce and everybody else will kneel before the Lord Jesus Christ and confess that He is Lord, you like it or not. Some with joy because Jesus is the son of God the creator of all things. But some will confess only after this life with deep grief just before their eternal condemnation, because those didn't believe when they still could be saved. Condemned by not believing the only One who could save them. Don't be one of those, brother. Bruce is a man as you and me, and he can't save himself. Our souls are eternal, but not every soul will be saved. It's written in the Bible - everyone who believes and confesses that Jesus is Lord in THIS life on Earth, shall be saved. However, the ones who don't believe and deny Jesus, will suffer eternal separation from God. Hell that means and that ain't fun. The Bible is not only an ''old book'' as you think /watch?v=PgN33jH6jHk&t Because everybody is a sinner, therefore short from the glory of God, the Creator. Don't fool yourself, the only and real God our creator is not to be mocked. ''...every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.'' Matthew 12:36

[@contestleader2721]

I'm so glad that Eternity has made it to the album, it's one of my favourite songs ever and I'm looking forward to having another version on infinite loop

[@heberdovallejunior5524]

And the cool thing is that, by the end of the day, we will have 3 different versions of the same song...

[@jonshaw9472]

It's a brilliant song and Maidens best ever opener to an album which for me ranks in their top 4 best ever albums.....I love the Book of Souls.

[@TheGreatestVoice1958]

@@jonshaw9472 I agree about If Eternity being their best opener. I also agree Book of Souls is a killer album, I just wish it could have cut out Great Uknown, When the River Runs Deep, and Man of Sorrows (filler tracks)

[@jonshaw9472]

@TheGreatestVoice1958 oh man! You have surprised me there...I would have cut Man of sorrows, Shadows of the valley and Empire of the clouds. I love River runs deep and Great unknown (probably because i learned them on guitar) but we're all different and I respect your views.

[@TheGreatestVoice1958]

@@jonshaw9472 Cut Empire of the clouds?! That’s the best song of theirs since the reunion!!!!

[@Crunch104]

Great to see the passion still going strong. Comic in an album! Another brilliant idea to change it up and make people buy the packaged music instead of just mp3s! Can't wait for this. The solo albums are some of my favorite music of all time.

[@Ironlord2015]

This is gonna be an immense album!! Can't wait for it to be unleashed 😀 I still have very fond memories of seeing your good self Bruce, along with Adrian and Roy Z, at X-Records in Bolton, when you did your mini record store appearances back in 1997, promoting your Accident of Birth album. It was a fantastic day, and I remember you three performing amazing versions of Tears of The Dragon, Taking The Queen, and one other track which escapes me (its been a long time now 😀). I remember it being a wet Saturday afternoon, and when you walked into the shop to a very appreciative cheering crowd, you said " 'Ello, it's a pissin' 'orrible day out there" 😀I chatted to you briefly after the performance, (which pretty much deafened me as I was right next to the large amp) and you very kindly signed my Accident of Birth red 12" vinyl single which i'd just bought at the shop that day (still in my collection and hardly played but very much a treasured part of my collection! You also signed my CD copies of your albums, also still in my collection!! I recall Adrian was wearing a black beret that day, and someone shouted out "nice hat" 😀 The things that you remember all these years later eh? Treasured memories of simpler better times! I'll be purchasing your new single, and will deffo be getting the new album which I cannot wait for!! All the be(a)st \m/
