BRUCE DICKINSON Resumes Work On Extremely-Anticipated Solo Album

Longtime Bruce Dickinson collaborator Roy “Z” Ramirez took to social media this week to share new data on Dickinson‘s long-awaited solo album. “I simply cannot await you all to listen to the fruits of our collaborative efforts,” wrote Ramirez, as he and Dickinson have been holed up recently in Southern California engaged on backing tracks and extra recording for the album.

Final month, Dickinson mentioned that he is been engaged on the document right here and there since 2005.

“I have been engaged on it, on and off, since Tyranny Of Souls. However between lockdowns and albums and Maiden excursions and every little thing else, I am searching for a transparent area to truly nail and say, ‘Okay, that is what it is gonna be,’ and get to place some backing tracks down. After which we are able to do it. So we’re on the level now the place we have already received — I do not know — anyplace between 50 and 70 p.c of the fabric for the album, rely[ing] on what we choose, from issues we have already received.

“And I believe we would wish to tweak it a bit bit. So I’ve received a while. Once I end this [tour] in March, I’ve received three weeks in L.A. And so I am gonna be tweaking a couple of issues with Roy. And we’ll see the place we get to. And if we get to the purpose the place we are able to begin placing backing tracks down, then I will be off touring with Maiden and he might be chipping away doing the backing tracks.

“And the know-how exists now, in fact, which did not exist again within the day, to only get on a Zoom name with him and take a hear. We had been already going that approach on Tyranny Of Souls. He really despatched me a CD of the backing tracks — simply tough; no guitar solos; simply tough — and I put a set of headphones on. I used to be in Japan on tour on the time, and I simply walked the streets of Tokyo at, like, 9 within the morning with a notepad, mentally writing phrases and melodies, after which simply flew again to L.A. and did the vocals. And that labored out nice; Tyranny Of Souls is a superb album.”

Bruce Dickinson launched six solo albums between 1990 and 2005 – the majority of which had been launched when he wasn’t in Iron Maiden between 1993 and 1999. The brand new album would be the follow-up to 2005’s Tyranny Of Souls.
