“We’ve already got a bunch of material, but we need to organise it a little bit”

Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson has announced that he is working on a new solo album.

The frontman said he has already made a start on the follow up to 2005’s ‘Tyranny Of Souls’ with long term collaborater Roy ‘Z’ Ramirez but he is still some way off completing the record.

He continued by saying that he intends to complete the record following the conclusion of his spoken word tour in the United States.

“It is evident that I am traveling to [America] to perform the one-man spoken-word show [starting in late January],” he declared to Loudwire.

“When I get to the end of the one-man show thing at the end of March, then the idea is I’ve got about three weeks cooling my heels somewhere. I’ll lie down in a darkened room for a couple of days and recover from the tour and then put my singing head on and go and have a chat with Roy, because we’ve already got a bunch of material, but we need to organise it a little bit.

“We have demos and everything, but we need to organise it a bit more properly and be a bit more serious about it – maybe write a few more tunes. And then basically leave it down to Roy. [Once] we’ve got what we wanna do, he can go off and start doing backing tracks and things like that.”
