Overview
- This week Dickinson confirmed he has a new solo album slated for release in early 2027 on BMG and described the record as “heavy as shit.”
- Most of the album was recorded live over a three-week session earlier this year at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 with producer Brendan Duffey, yielding about 16 songs.
- Brendan Duffey is now mixing the project at his Brendan Duffey Audio facility in Jupiter, Florida, and Dickinson said some tracks will be revealed and videos shot later in 2026.
- The record features Dickinson’s touring band — Mistheria, Dave Moreno, Tanya O’Callaghan, Chris Declercq and Philip Näslund — includes percussion work from Sepultura’s Andreas Kisser, and will have a collaboration with his son Austin.
- Dickinson says the album is a standalone project with only one song tied to The Mandrake Project, a 12-issue comic series that he now treats as an independent property and a separate creative outlet.
