BRUCE DICKINSON Recruits Horror Icon BILL MOSELEY For New Music Video

Bruce Dickinson has recruited horror film legend Bill Moseley to appear in one of the music videos for the IRON MAIDEN singer's upcoming solo album. The clip is being filmed in Nevada with Leo Liberti, the Italian-Brazilian award-winning director and post-production artist who previously worked with Bruce on the recent "Change Of Heart" and "Tears Of The Dragon" videos.

On Monday, August 24, Moseley shared a photo of him with Dickinson in what appears to be a Nevada desert, and he included the following message: "Had a blast working on a @leolibertifilms video with @ironmaiden frontman @brucedickinsonhq today in the hinterlands outside of @vegas. 114 Fahrenheit in the shade, if there had been any shade!"

Moseley is an actor best known for his role as Otis B. Driftwood in Rob Zombie's Firefly trilogy, starting with "House Of 1000 Corpses", and Robert "Chop Top" Sawyer in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2". His other notable roles include Luigi Largo in "Repo! The Genetic Opera" and Johnny Todd in the "Night Of The Living Dead" remake. He is also known for his role as Captain Harris in numerous music videos by ICE NINE KILLS.

Dickinson's new solo album is tentatively due in early 2027 via BMG.

Most of Bruce's eighth solo album was recorded this past January and February at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Northridge, California with producer Brendan Duffey, who previously helmed the partly re-recorded, remixed and newly mastered version of Bruce's second solo album "Balls To Picasso", now titled "More Balls To Picasso", which was made available in July 2025.

Dickinson's follow-up to "The Mandrake Project" is being mixed by Brendan at his Brendan Duffey Audio high-end mixing and mastering studio in Jupiter, Florida.

Dickinson recently told Steve Harkins of TalkShopLive that his upcoming solo album will include a collaboration with his son Austin. Bruce's oldest son, the 35-year-old Austin is a musician best known as the former frontman for the metal bands RISE TO REMAIN and AS LIONS. Dickinson went on to say that tracks from the LP "will be out this year, a little bit, so people can hear a little bit of it. At some point this month, I'm shooting four or maybe five videos for it." He added: "I'm pretty busy in '27. And I think everybody's gonna be very happy with what I'm busy with — in every sense of the word."

This past April, Bruce revealed that he recorded 16 songs for his new solo album over a three-week period earlier this year. He told Rolling Stone magazine: [We did it] all 100 percent live. It's like the anti-A.I. generation."

Dickinson's upcoming album was recorded with his touring band, consisting of keyboardist Mistheria, drummer Dave Moreno, bassist Tanya O'Callaghan, and guitarists Chris Declercq and Philip Näslund.

In February, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser shared photos of him with Bruce at Studio 606 and revealed that he plays percussion on Dickinson's new LP.

Bruce and his long-term co-writer and producer Roy "Z" Ramirez recorded "The Mandrake Project" largely at Los Angeles's Doom Room, with Roy Z doubling up as both guitarist and bassist. The recording lineup for "The Mandrake Project" was rounded out by Mistheria and Moreno, both of whom also featured on Bruce's previous solo studio album, "Tyranny Of Souls", in 2005.

Dickinson made his recording debut with IRON MAIDEN on the "Number Of The Beast" album in 1982. He quit the band in 1993 in order to pursue his solo career and was replaced by Blaze Bayley, who had previously been the lead singer of the metal band WOLFSBANE. After releasing two traditional metal albums with former MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith, Dickinson rejoined the band in 1999 along with Smith.
