Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden has shared a teaser for the song “Afterglow of Ragnarok,” the lead single from his upcoming solo album, The Mandrake Project (arriving sometime in 2024). He has also added a run of 2024 UK/European tour dates in support of the LP.
The teaser is only 27 seconds long and appears to be a snippet of a chorus refrain, with Dickinson busting out a rare growl for the titular phrase: “Afterglow of Ragnarok!” We can already deduce that the song has a epic metal sound, a la Iron Maiden, with surging guitars and prominent synths.
The full track will be available on December 1st in 7″ vinyl form accompanied by an eight-page “prequel” comic and a B-side featuring Dickinson’s demo for the Iron Maiden track “If Eternity Should Fail” (originally released on 2015’s The Book of Souls).
