Bruce Dickinson has released his brand-new solo album, The Mandrake Project today. Featuring the singles ‘Afterglow of Ragnarok’ and ‘Rain On The Graves’ the ten-track collection is already receiving huge global acclaim, with rave reviews and front cover features running in publications all around the world.

Sonically heavy and rich in musical textures, the album sees Bruce bring to life a musical vision long-in-the-making. Created with co-writer and producer Roy Z, they have crafted one of the defining rock albums of 2024.

Supporting the release of the album in Europe Bruce is under-taking an instore signing run which started with a midnight opening in Wales on this St David’s Day at HMV Cardiff. He will also be appearing at HMV London this evening, with further events taking place over the next two days in Birmingham, Sheffield and Manchester.

Last weekend he attended pre-listening events & a pre-order signing session in two major Swedish cities and will return to mainland Europe for signings in France and Germany to complete the release week.


Bruce Dickinson and his phenomenal band will bring the music of The Mandrake Project to life with a major headline tour this spring and summer.
