PAUL Di’ANNO’s WARHORSE – with Madiraca & Pupi (2024) *HQ*
Former Iron Maiden frontman Paul Di’Anno, who sang on the band’s 1979 debut EP (“The Soundhouse Tapes”) and the first two full-length albums (“Iron Maiden” and “Killers”), has had many ups and downs in his career and life since Bruce Dickinson replaced him in Maiden in 1981.
In recent years, Di’Anno has spent a lot of time in Croatia. This new album / project PAUL Di’ANNO’s WARHORSE has been created there with Di’Anno backed up by local musicians, and recorded locallly and the UK.
It is fantastic hearing him sing on a hard-hitting heavy metal album. Musically, Di’Anno remains in NWOBHM territory with this new album. The core of Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse band is Di’Anno and guitarists Hrvoje Madiraca and Ante Pupačić Pupi. In addition to playing guitars, the Croatian duo has produced and arranged the album and written most of the songs. Most noteworthy among the session and guest musicians appearing on the record is that one of our favourite British musicians, Becky Baldwin, of Fury and Mercyful Fate fame, plays bass on six of the album’s ten tracks.
