Artistic continuity after The Mandrake Project
Sorti in Mars 2024 via bmg, The Mandrake Project had marked the comeback of Bruce Dickinson solo after almost twenty years of discographic absence. The album, hailed for its emotional wealth and neat production, had given rise to a remarkable European tour, before a few more intimate concerts in the United States under the name The House Band Of Hell.
-For his next opus, Dickinson seems to want to keep the same team: Brendan Duffey in production, as well as several members of his current live group such as drummer Dave Moreno (who also played on Tyranny Of Souls), the Italian keyboardist Mistheria and the Irish bassist Tanya O’Callaghan. The guitarist Roy “Z” Ramirez, historic collaborator of Bruce on his flagship albums from the 90s, is not announced for this new project.
