Bruce Dickinson’s New Single “Resurrection Men” Coming Next Month

Though he released his solo album The Mandrake Project earlier this year, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson is putting out yet another new track next month as a special release. The single, “Resurrection Men,” will be available to everyone on July 26 as a limited-edition CD via BMG.

According to the legendary vocalist, the forthcoming song has an apparent surf rock feel to it that Dickinson claims was his idea.

“The surf guitar at the intro – the Dick Dale bit – that’s me!

“We were just mucking around with the tremolo setting, we put the chords down and I went, ‘Ok, that’s kinda cool!’ It was like, ‘What if Quentin Tarantino made a metal record?’ Then it goes somewhere different, we get a bit heavy, and we did this whole middle section and it was like, ‘Were you just channelling Geezer Butler in another life?’ It was early Sabbath – Behind the Wall of Sleep. Just, ‘Oh my god that’s heavy!’”

The three-track CD (seems wasteful if you ask me) will come in a gatefold digi-sleeve and features a limited number of double-sided Mandrake ‘Movie Posters’ (375mm x 285mm) for pre-orders. Wait, three tracks? Right. This also will come with live versions of “Afterglow of Ragnarok” and “Abduction” that were recorded on May 4 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

You can preorder your copy today.
