Bruce Dickinson’s Next Solo Album Will Be Released in 2027

0

We have all as a collective had a lot of exposure to Bruce Dickinson‘s solo works in recent memory. Whether it was the redone Balls To Picasso that dropped earlier this year or his newest effort The Mandrake Project from last year, there’s been more about the weed-disliking jumbo jet flying frontman than there’s been news about new Iron Maiden, but that pace looks to be slowing down.

During a recent interview with Charlie Kendall’s Metalshop (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), Dickinson shared his plans for what’s next in his solo career. Namely, he wants to do more of it, including a new album that could come out in the next couple of years.

 ”We’re going in the studio in January next year to record the album with Brendan Duffey, who remixed [Dickinson’s second solo album, 1994’s] ‘Balls To Picasso‘ and did an amazing job. So we go in the studio with him in January, and we are looking to release the album in ’27… The amazing band that is gonna record the new record with me is gonna be the same band that toured in Europe with me, and it’s gonna be the same band that’s gonna tour with me in 2027 when we release the new record. Or at least that’s the idea anyway, to release a new record [in 2027].”

I know that year sounds like some far-flung future, but that’s like a year and a half. So it won’t be soon that we’ll get new Dickinson solo material, but xxxxxxe won’t be waiting super long either.

With an eye on the upcoming tour in support of The Mandrake Project, Dickinson said he’s got some “This summer I’m touring the USA for the first time with ‘Mandrake’, and also we’re playing stuff from [1998’s] ‘The Chemical Wedding’, [1997’s] ‘Accident Of Birth’… I mean, I’ve got seven studio albums to pick from. Obviously, I’m gonna be playing some stuff from ‘Balls To Picasso’, so ‘Tears [Of The Dragon]’ is gonna be in there and some other stuff, ‘Gods Of War’ probably, for sure. And a real cool mix of tracks. I mean, stuff like ‘The Alchemist’, people in Europe, they’re, like, ‘Oh my God. He’s playing ‘The Alchemist’ from ‘The Chemical Wedding’.’ I went, ‘Yep, we’re doing that. And ‘Chemical Wedding’.’ And other things too that people will go, ‘Oh, that’s really cool.’ I hope they do anyway.”
