TAKEN FROM CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED NEW ALBUM THE MANDRAKE PROJECT – LISTEN OR BUY HERE
Bruce Dickinson released the limited-edition CD of his new single ‘Resurrection Men’ last week, featuring two live bonus tracks. The accompanying video has been unveiled today and is a joyous look at life on the road which started in LA on April 12th and finished in Athens, Greece on July 21st playing to over 350,000 people!
“The tour was one of the very best,” says Dickinson. “The band were just so pumped and on it every night that it was a joy. The audience reactions everywhere for songs old and new were pretty overwhelming & I already can’t wait to go back out again ! The video is my thank you to everyone that came to see us at festivals, clubs, theatres and arenas. Who said a metal audience can’t appreciate a theremin, bongos and ‘Dick Dale-esque’ surfer guitars? Mine certainly do!!”
The three track CD comes in gatefold digi-sleeve and includes the bonus songs, ‘Afterglow Of Ragnarok’ and ‘Abduction’, both of which were also recorded live at Dickinson’s show in Sao Paulo as part of his world tour for The Mandrake Project.
That tour, which concluded last week, saw Dickinson and his House Band of Hell play almost 50 shows across the UK, US, Europe and Latin America to a rapturous response. The Mandrake Project album has been a huge critical and commercial success, topping charts around the world and receiving some of the best reviews of Dickinson’s illustrious solo career.
PRAISE FOR THE MANDRAKE PROJECT
“[His] voice still soars over grandiose metal, yet the music is darker and heavier than his work with Iron Maiden” – Daily Telegraph
“The wildly ambitious, mostly hard rock but genre-blurring The Mandrake Project” – The Sun (4/5)
“The Mandrake Project demands and rewards total absorption into its kaleidoscopic sound picture… Bruce’s extraordinary voice… has rarely sounded more assertive, upfront and in your face, urging his vocals to new levels of expressive emotion and dramatic control” – Metal Hammer (9/10)
“His most ambitious and best solo work to date… He sounds great, his voice properly doing the rounds through the narrative, as the beefy riffs – much more so than in Maiden – and gritty production add a layer of their own” – Kerrang (4/5)
“Epic… grandiose… infectious. Easily one of Bruce Dickinson’s boldest projects” – Classic Rock (4/5)
“Bruce creates a vivid world of magic and mayhem… a solo project worth investing in” – Daily Star (4/5)
“Spectacular solo outing… surely his most innovative and creative yet. Heavy but easily accessible” – Record Collector (4/5)
“Simply brilliant… we are already looking at one of rock and metal’s defining genre-crossing albums of 2024” – Powerplay (10/10)
“Its themes are plainly evident in the earworm metal of ‘Many Doors To Hell’ and gothic menace of ‘Fingers In The Wounds’, although more subdued (but equally sombre) hues inform the portentous, piano-led power ballad ‘Shadow Of The Gods’” – Uncut
“A titanic and resonating piece of work” – Metal Talk
“This is highly atmospheric metal, full of muted guitars and shaded melodies with Bruce sounding absolutely phenomenal” – Fistful Of Metal (9/10)
