Bruce Dickinson Shares ‘Resurrection Men’ Video: Watch
Bruce Dickinson has shared the video for his new single, Resurrection Men, taken from the hit album The Mandrake Project.
The video is a joyous look at life on the road which started in LA on 12 April and finished in Athens, Greece on 21 July playing to over 350,000 people.
“The tour was one of the very best,” says the Iron Maiden singer. “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 & I already can’t wait to go back out again ! The video is my thank you to everyone that 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!!”
Resurrection Men has just been released as a CD single, available to pre-order here. 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 Sao Paulo 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 UK, US, 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.
“The surf guitar at the intro – the Dick Dale bit – that’s me!” Dickinson said about Resurrection Men.
“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!’”
