The Metal Voice recently interviewed former Iron Maiden singer, Paul Di'Anno. In the chat, Paul talks about his upcoming Warhorse debut album and Iron Maiden legacy.

When asked if he would be open to having former Iron Maiden guitarist Dennis Stratton on stage, Di'Anno responds, "People have been moving this around but I say no. I really don't see the point. Dennis is a great bloke, great guitar player. That is just for the cheap thrill side of things. I'm not here for that."

Paul Di'Anno's Warhorse have announced that their self-titled debut album will be released worldwide on July 19 via BraveWords Records.

"Metal" Tim Henderson of BraveWords Records, "The killer is on the loose again and original Iron Maiden singer Paul D’Anno is riding his Warhorse into new battles with eyes of fire and a fighting spirit. Wrath children pay attention!"

Paul Di'Anno speaking about his new album, "Paul Di'Anno's Warhorse is my first studio project after many years of being away from the studio and not performing. I remember when we announced that we were recording an album in Croatia with completely unknown musicians, many were shocked and no one knew in which direction we would go. Warhorse exudes pure energy and reflects everything I went through while recording the album."

Hrvoje Madiraca adds, "This record is a product of hard work combined with the voice of the man, the myth and the legend of our dear Wrathchild! Old school metal you want. That is what you'll get!"

Ante Pupacic, known as Pupi continues, "When it comes to music, I've done all sorts of things, but I'm particularly proud of this album. Two years of work, composing, arranging, recording, editing, deleting, and so on. We went through all kinds of emotions, from euphoria to agony. Each song was carefully polished to achieve its current form. On the album, everyone added their touch, both Hrvoje and I, in terms of lyrics, music, and production, all ennobled by the powerful vocals of our legend, Paul Di'Anno."
