A video about truth will accompany the track, and Dickinson suspects the Catholic Church might have a problem with it.
Bruce Dickinson says fans won’t have long to wait for the first single from his next solo album, with a video set to arrive alongside it.
Speaking to Chile’s Radio Futuro in an interview published on 1 November, the Iron Maiden frontman put an approximate timeline on the release.
“The first single is out in, like, 10 days or something,” he said, according to Blabbermouth’s transcription.
That points towards new music this month, although Dickinson’s estimate stops short of confirming a release date.
He had more to say about the accompanying video. Dickinson described it as being about truth, taking aim at a world where bloggers, influencers and politicians keep talking without necessarily telling it.
He also suggested the Catholic Church might have a problem with the clip, before apparently deciding he had said enough: “But anyway, never mind. We’ll see.”
There is already a horror connection to the album’s video campaign. As BLUNT reported in August, Dickinson filmed a clip outside Las Vegas with actor Bill Moseley and director Leo Liberti. Moseley’s credits include The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Rob Zombie’s Firefly trilogy.
The Radio Futuro interview does not establish whether that shoot produced the first single’s video.
Eighteen Songs, With Some Left Over
Dickinson also gave a fresh account of the recording sessions: three weeks, 12-hour working days and 18 songs recorded.
They haven’t all made the cut. He said including everything would have turned the project into a double album, leaving some material outside the final selection.
The studio discussion grew out of a question about his objections to artificial intelligence. Dickinson argued that AI copies human creativity and said the record contains no samples. His criticism reflects his own position on creative work, rather than establishing technical claims about how every AI system operates.
The new material will also reach the stage. As BLUNT previously reported, his 2027 PsychoGod solo tour will visit Europe and the UK, with Evergrey supporting the November and December leg.
Australian fans will see him sooner with Iron Maiden. Their Run For Your Lives itinerary brings Dickinson here with Megadeth this month, starting in Adelaide on 11 November before Melbourne, Sydney and two Brisbane shows.
