Bruce Dickinson – Tyranny Of Souls LP

Bruce Dickinson – Tyranny Of Souls

Seven years on from the glories of 'The Chemical Wedding', the sixth chapter in the great man’s solo journey appeared. A more varied and introspective affair than its predecessor, 'Tyranny Of Souls' touched upon balls-out hard rock (‘Devil On A Hog’), gallivanting, state-of-the-art melodic metal (‘Abduction’) and hazy, prog-fuelled psychedelia (the exquisite ‘Navigate The Seas Of The Sun’– a song inspired by cult author Erich von Däniken’s theory of extra-terrestrial life on Earth in the distant past). The album’s title track drew from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, with all the pitch-black melodrama that such a conceit demands, while ‘Kill Devil Hill’ paid tribute to aviation pioneers the Wright Brothers’ first triumphant flight in 1903.
