Bruce Dickinson speaks of upcoming solo album “The Mandrake Project”

Bruce Dickinson has shared a video message in which he spoke about his upcoming solo album, out in early 2024 via BMG. “The Mandrake Project” features Dickinson alongside longtime musical collaborator and producer Roy “Z” Ramirez.

In Dickinson‘s words:

So, everybody, everybody on the planet who’s been going, ‘Oh my god. What’s this solo thing gonna be all about when it finally happens?’ Well, it’s finally happening. It’s called ‘The Mandrake Project’, and’ of course, it’s music. But, it’s also much, much, more. More than that, I’m not gonna reveal for now, ’cause it will become self-explanatory and self-evident as we go through and reveal more layers of the onion for you all.

But, yeah, ‘The Mandrake Project’. We’ve been working on this since 2014, when it wasn’t called ‘The Mandrake Project’. And it’s had time to grow and mature. And, oh my God, has it ever. I think you will be really, really excited. And, I hope you love everything that we’ve created for you.
