Bruce Dickinson<\/a> has teased that his upcoming new solo album, recorded earlier this year at Dave Grohl\u2019s Studio 606, is \u201cheavy as shit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Iron Maiden singer has confirmed that the new album will come out in 2027 as the follow-up to 2024\u2019s The Mandrake Project, which was accompanied by a comic-book series and other multimedia aspects. He said the upcoming record is a return to a more traditional album release.<\/p>\n

Dickinson said of the forthcoming album, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of stand-alone. There\u2019s one song that has a bit of something to do with Mandrake. Now, the album is heavy as shit. I\u2019m not digging into Mandrake. I think Mandrake has a life now on a comic book level, so it can just go on the basis of story and everything else. I don\u2019t need to associate music with it unless it\u2019s a really good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recordings took place in January and February of 2026 at Grohl\u2019s Los Angeles studio with producer Brendan Duffey, who also helmed the Mandrake sessions.<\/p>\n
