Mar 12, 2024It may have been a long wait, but The Mandrake Project is easily one of Bruce Dickinson’s boldest projects, and it goes to show there is almost nothing that this band frontman/fencer/pilot/author can’t turn his hand to. [Apr 2024, p.82]

Mar 12, 2024The Mandrake Project is not the kind of record that is liable to attract new legions of followers. But for an artist this far into his career to still sound energized and committed, especially after the trouble he experienced before its inception, is a creative triumph worth applauding.
