Details of Bruce's New Solo Album Revealed

on March 21, 2005 @ 15:53

After a first preview of what would the new Bruce Dickinson solo album be, Maidenfans can now announce that the US release date is May 24, one day after the international one.

It has been seven years since Dickinson released his last solo album, "The Chemical Wedding", which received massive critical acclaim while exploring intriguing and dark themes. The intervening years have seen him make a highly successful return to Iron Maiden, with two huge albums and record-breaking live shows and tours.

"Tyranny Of Souls", Bruce's new solo venture, sees him return once again to collaborate with guitarist/producer/writer Roy Z. The album's cover is adorned with a 15th century depiction of hell by Hans Hemling and the music continues along this path to explore dark, apocalyptic themes. Delving into science, theology and of course, his love of flight, with thought provoking, intelligent and menacing lyrics that are sure to leave the listener's mind unsettled, "Tyranny Of Souls" is pure Dickinson. Heavy riff-laden songs and explosive virtuoso guitar work from Roy joined with the definitive Dickinson soaring vocals, makes this ground breaking album a tour de force of modern metal.

It was following on from the end of the last Maiden tour that Bruce saw an opportunity to work alongside Roy again.

"With Maiden, once the band has finished up on the tours, we all tend to go our separate ways and do our own thing for a while until it's time to saddle up again for the next album," Dickinson explained. "I knew I could seize the chance to work with Roy in between his work on the new Judas Priest album. We both work quickly together which I like and the recording is very organic so it came together quite easily. I'm very proud of it."

"Tyranny of Souls" tracklisting:

01. Mars Within (Intro)
02. Abduction
03. Soul Intruders
04. Kill Devil Hill
05. Navigate the Seas of the Sun
06. River of No Return
07. Power of the Sun
08. Devil on a Hog
09. Believil
10. A Tyranny of Souls


The cover is heavily rumored to be a painting of Hans Memling.

i really don't like the title "Kill Devil Hill"

it just doesn't feel right, and isn't really a good title

of course this says nothing about the song itself, wich will probably be kickass!
