Bruce Dickinson: a fine luglio pubblicherà in formato fisico il singolo “Resurrection Men”
Comunicato stampa:
Il brano è estratto dall’ultimo album “Afterglow of Ragnarok”.
Il commento dello stesso Bruce:
“La chitarra da surf nell’intro alla Dick Dale? Sono proprio io! Stavamo solo giocando con l’impostazione del tremolo, abbiamo messo giù gli accordi e ho detto, ‘Ok, è abbastanza figo!’. È stato un po’ come ‘Cosa succederebbe se Quentin Tarantino registrasse un disco metal?’ .Poi cambia tutto, diventiamo un po’ più heavy.”
Il CD contiene tre brani e un poster a due facce in stile locandina di film (solo sullo store ufficiale www.themandrakeproject.com). Il terzo capitolo del fumetto sarà distribuito da Z2 Comics il 17 luglio 2024.
I due brani aggiuntivi sono le versioni live di “Afterglow Of Ragnarok” e “Abduction”, registrate durante il concerto di Bruce Dickinson a San Paolo in Brasile lo scorso 4 maggio.

PRAISE FOR THE MANDRAKE PROJECT
“[His] voice still soars over grandiose metal, yet the music is darker and heavier than his work with Iron Maiden” – Daily Telegraph
“The wildly ambitious, mostly hard rock but genre-blurring The Mandrake Project” – The Sun (4/5)
“The Mandrake Project demands and rewards total absorption into its kaleidoscopic sound picture… Bruce’s extraordinary voice… has rarely sounded more assertive, upfront and in your face, urging his vocals to new levels of expressive emotion and dramatic control” – Metal Hammer (9/10)
“His most ambitious and best solo work to date… He sounds great, his voice properly doing the rounds through the narrative, as the beefy riffs – much more so than in Maiden – and gritty production add a layer of their own” – Kerrang (4/5)
“Epic… grandiose… infectious. Easily one of Bruce Dickinson’s boldest projects” – Classic Rock (4/5)
“Bruce creates a vivid world of magic and mayhem… a solo project worth investing in” – Daily Star (4/5)
“Spectacular solo outing… surely his most innovative and creative yet. Heavy but easily accessible” – Record Collector (4/5)
“Simply brilliant… we are already looking at one of rock and metal’s defining genre-crossing albums of 2024” – Powerplay (10/10)
“Its themes are plainly evident in the earworm metal of ‘Many Doors To Hell’ and gothic menace of ‘Fingers In The Wounds’, although more subdued (but equally sombre) hues inform the portentous, piano-led power ballad ‘Shadow Of The Gods’” – Uncut
“A titanic and resonating piece of work” – Metal Talk
“This is highly atmospheric metal, full of muted guitars and shaded melodies with Bruce sounding absolutely phenomenal” – Fistful Of Metal (9/10)
