THOMAS ZWIJSEN Performs Acoustic Guitar Cover Of BRUCE DICKINSON's New Single "Rain On The Graves"; Video

Yesterday, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson released "Rain On The Graves", the second track from his forthcoming solo album, The Mandrake Project. And today, guitarist Thomas Zwijsen shares acoustic guitar cover of the new song. Check it out below:

Watch Bruce Dickinson's official video for "Rain On The Graves" below:

Across ten inventive, expansive and absorbing tracks, Dickinson and his long-term co-writer and producer Roy Z, have created one of 2024’s defining rock albums. Sonically heavy and rich in musical textures, The Mandrake Project sees Bruce bring to life a musical vision long-in-the-making, and features some of the finest vocal performances of his career.

Recorded largely at LA’s Doom Room with Roy Z doubling up as both guitarist and bassist, the lineup for The Mandrake Project was rounded out by keyboard maestro Mistheria and drummer Dave Moreno, both of whom also featured on Bruce’s last solo studio album, Tyranny Of Souls, in 2005.

The Mandrake Project is Dickinson’s seventh solo album. It will be released on March 1 via BMG worldwide on multiple formats. Pre-order here.
