IRON MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson took part in the Musicians Institute’s MI Conversation Series with host Ryan J. Downey – Regarding a possible follow up to “The Mandrake Project”, Bruce said: “I’ve just been in the demo studio with everybody for the last three weeks, and we ended up with 18 tracks in 15 days…

“It’s gonna be a really cool album,” he added. “And, obviously, the guy that’s producing it, Brendan Duffey, he mixed ‘Mandrake’. We started off with him doing the Atmos mixes and then kind of morphed into, ‘I take it you do stereo as well.’ And he’s great. So, we are just keeping the same crew on this record. And [I’m] looking to record it next year, early next year. I’ve got some gaps. January, February, March, April is kind of free zone for me next year.”
