Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson talked in an interview with Eddie Trunk about his next solo album that according to him has been a work in progress for the last four years.
Bruce Dickinson said about his upcoming solo album:
“Not only would I like to. I’ve got a work in progress right now that’s been kind of on and off, on the backburner, for, well, three or four years now. And basically, since the pandemic happened, I may have had loads of time.
But I can’t go to America to do it — to finish up the writing for it, start the recording process and all that stuff. So I’m just waiting for Uncle Joe to let me into America.”
New Iron Maiden album “Senjutsu”:
6 years after the successful “Book of Souls”, Iron Maiden released their new studio album “Senjutsu”. The record was made in Paris with their longtime producer Kevin Shirley and co-produced by bassist Steve Harris.
In an official statement about the album, Bruce said:
“We’re all really excited about this album. We recorded it back in early 2019 during a break in the Legacy tour so we could maximize our touring yet still have a long set up period before release to prepare great album art and something special as a video. Of course the pandemic delayed things more – so much for the best laid plans – or should that be ‘strategies’!? The songs are very varied, and some of them are quite long. There’s also one or two songs which sound pretty different to our usual style, and I think Maiden fans will be surprised – in a good way, I hope!”
