IRON MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson has revealed that he recorded 16 songs for his new solo album over a three-week period earlier this year.

The album, which won't arrive before 2027, will be the follow-up to “The Mandrake Project,” which came out in March 2024 via BMG.

Dickinson's eighth solo album was recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Northridge, California with his touring band, consisting of keyboardist Mistheria, drummer Dave Moreno, bassist Tanya O'Callaghan, and guitarists Chris Declercq and Philip Näslund.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Bruce touched upon his upcoming LP while discussing his health and various physical ailments.

He said: “I got two metal hips, I got a busted Achilles I had stitched back together five years ago, various contusions and lumps and bumps.

But I'm still running around like a lunatic, and the voice is doing great.” Dickinson's upcoming album was recorded with his touring band, consisting of keyboardist Mistheria, drummer Dave Moreno, bassist Tanya O'Callaghan, and guitarists Chris Declercq and Philip Näslund.

SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser shared photos of him with Bruce at Studio 606 and revealed that he plays percussion on Dickinson's new LP.

The recording lineup for “The Mandrake Project” was rounded out by Mistheria and Moreno, both of whom also featured on Bruce's previous solo studio album, “Tyranny Of Souls,” in 2005.

Last August, Bruce told Metal Hammer that his new solo material would include “bone-crushingly heavy” songs as well as moments that “are just like tugging at the heartstrings.” Dickinson previously told Charlie Kendall of Charlie Kendall's Metalshop that he would record his next solo album with Brendan Duffey, who “did an amazing job” remixing Dickinson's second solo album, 1994's “Balls To Picasso.” The singer made his recording debut with IRON MAIDEN on the “Number Of The Beast” album in 1982 and rejoined the band in 1999 along with Adrian Smith.
