Very Dive! Dive! Dive! if you believe the legend…
The humanoid-shaped mandrake root or Mandragora officinarum was widely believed to be produced by the semen of hanged men under the gallows.

So...is this the "you'll be happy" comment from Bruce a few weeks ago? I hope it's not just that. But with the way things are shaping up it looks like if there's a NA/SA Future Past Tour it very well may be late summer/fall if the rumors of summer in Europe again are true. Don't know if I can wait that long, lol

Five months is like a day if you are an GNR fanWe just have to wait until early 2024. What’s 5 months when one has been waiting for 18 years for him to release a new solo album?

I think it will be. Bruce likes this theme a lot. And Maiden's TBOS cover has no pyramid on it, haha.

The negatives:
The promo picture looks very silly.
"The [...] Project" is never a good name, because it always sounds incredibly generic.
I severely dislike the use of Greek letters to substitute Latin letters. It's cool that it might go in a direction like that, but right now I'm just seeing "THS MDNDRDKS PROJSKT".
The positives:
Finally a new album.
Not much to hear so far, but it sounds great.

I doubt it. Bruce's tour is April/early May (for now, with a possible 2nd leg in the winter after Maiden's tour). Maiden tour will probably June/July-September/October. Steve is busy early next year so there is room for a new Maiden album in the winter after the tour, if Bruce is not busy though.

That's all part of the Bruce D kitsch though. Embrace the silliness.

Yep, title is total Bruce too, half "mystic" half sounding like an episode of Doctor Who or The Prisoner

I don't mind silliness. My issue is that it looks very badly edited. The artist could've put in a tiny bit more effort there.

''This album has been a very personal journey for me and I am extremely proud of it. Roy Z and I have been planning, writing and recording it for years, and I am very excited for people to finally hear it. I’m even more excited at the prospect of getting out on the road with this amazing band that we have put together, to be able to bring it to life. We’re planning to play as many shows as we can in as many places as possible, for as many people as we can!
As for what The Mandrake Project actually is… all will be revealed soon!''
The way it's worded, I don't think Adrian wrote anything for the album (except that '97 song). But maybe he played on it (or for a few songs) - it would be odd to play them live just for rhythm guitar. Yeah, we have songs from AOB and TCW, but he will play rhythm for the TOS songs for sure.
