Bruce Dickinson reveals The Mandrake Project release date, track listing and album art

Bruce Dickinson in 2023.

Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson has revealed further information on his upcoming seventh solo album, The Mandrake Project.

The album will be released on March 1, 2024, via BMG, it has been revealed, and has 10 tracks. Full track listing and artwork are available below.

Dickinson released the eight-minute music video for the lead single of The Mandrake Project, Afterglow Of Ragnarok, yesterday (November 30).

“It was important to set the tone of the project with this track,” the singer commented when the single was announced on November 6. “As befitting its title, it’s a heavy song and there’s a great big riff driving it… but there’s also a real melody in the chorus that displays the light and shade that the rest of the album brings… and just wait until you see the video!”

The Mandrake Project will be accompanied by a graphic novel series, created by Dickinson and Marvel/DC Comics writer Tony Lee, with original artwork by 2000AD, Robin and Catwoman illustrator Staz Johnson. 12 volumes will be released quarterly, starting on January 17, then compiled into three annual graphic novel issues.

The Mandrake Project contains a song called Eternity Has Failed, a Dickinson composition that first appeared on Iron Maiden’s 2015 album The Book Of Souls under the title If Eternity Should Fail.

A demo version of the song appears as the b-side of the Afterglow Of Ragnarok vinyl single, which is out today (December 1) and also contains a prequel comic to the Mandrake Project series.

Dickinson will extensively tour Europe in spring and summer to promote The Mandrake Project. See below for dates, as well as the album’s track listing and album art.

After touring The Mandrake Project, Dickinson will continue the Future Past tour with Iron Maiden, playing a run of North American shows. Dates are also available below.
