Bruce Dickinson released the limited-edition CD of his new solo single, “Resurrection Men”, last week, featuring two live bonus tracks. The accompanying video has been unveiled today and is a joyous look at life on the road which started in Los Angeles on April 12 and finished in Athens, Greece on July 21, playing to a combined total of over 350,000 people.
“The tour was one of the very best,” says Dickinson. “The band were just so pumped and on it every night that it was a joy. The audience reactions everywhere for songs old and new were pretty overwhelming and I already can’t wait to go back out again! The video is my thank you to everyone who came to see us at festivals, clubs, theatres, and arenas. Who said a metal audience can’t appreciate a theremin, bongos and ‘Dick Dale-esque’ surfer guitars? Mine certainly do!!”
The three-track CD comes in gatefold digi-sleeve and includes the bonus songs “Afterglow Of Ragnarok” and “Abduction”, both of which were also recorded live at Dickinson‘s show in São Paulo, Brazil as part of his world tour for “The Mandrake Project”. That tour, which concluded last week, saw Dickinson and his House Band Of Hell play almost 50 shows across the U.S., Europe, and Latin America to a rapturous response.
“The Mandrake Project” album has been a huge critical and commercial success, topping charts around the world and receiving some of the best reviews of Dickinson‘s illustrious solo career.
