On March 1, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson will release his eagerly anticipated new solo album - the singer's first in almost two decades. Titled The Mandrake Project, it serves as a long-awaited follow-up to 2005's Tyranny Of Souls and Dickinson's seventh solo full-length overall.
As part of his exclusive cover feature in the latest issue of Metal Hammer, Dickinson reveals that amongst other notable moments on the record, The Mandrake Project will feature the first time he's ever played guitar on an album, despite having written songs on the instrument many times across his career.
