Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has officially teamed up with veteran horror actor Bill Moseley for a brand-new cinematic music video. The upcoming visual will accompany a track from the singer’s highly anticipated eighth solo album, which is currently slated for an early 2027 release through BMG.
Production for the video is currently underway in the blistering heat of the Nevada desert. Sitting in the director’s chair is award-winning Italian-Brazilian filmmaker Leo Liberti. The accomplished director and post-production specialist is already familiar with the heavy metal legend’s creative vision, having previously helmed the official music videos for “Change Of Heart” and “Tears Of The Dragon“.
On Monday, August 24, Bill Moseley took to social media to document the grueling desert shoot. Sharing a photo alongside Bruce Dickinson, the actor detailed the intense environmental conditions on set:
“Had a blast working on a @leolibertifilms video with @ironmaiden frontman @brucedickinsonhq today in the hinterlands outside of @vegas. 114 Fahrenheit in the shade, if there had been any shade!”
Fans of horror cinema will instantly recognize the actor for his defining on-screen work. He famously portrayed Otis B. Driftwood throughout the Rob Zombie-directed “Firefly” film franchise, which kicked off with “House Of 1000 Corpses“. He also delivered a legendary performance as Robert “Chop Top” Sawyer in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2“. His extensive film resume includes playing Luigi Largo in “Repo! The Genetic Opera” and Johnny Todd in the 1990 remake of “Night Of The Living Dead“.
Beyond his work in feature films, Bill Moseley is no stranger to the heavy music scene, having regularly appeared as Captain Harris across several music videos for the theatrical metalcore act Ice Nine Kills.
Dickinson recorded his next solo album this year, with release tentatively set for early 2027 through BMG. It follows 2024’s The Mandrake Project, which he toured across North America in 2025 on his first extended solo run there in almost three decades.
Dickinson recorded with his touring band, keyboardist Mistheria, drummer Dave Moreno, bassist Tanya O’Callaghan and guitarists Chris Declercq and Philip Näslund, the same lineup he has said will take the album on the road in 2027. Andreas Kisser of Sepultura added percussion during the February sessions, and Jeff Scott Soto and Sepultura vocalist Derrick Green both visited the studio.
One track features his eldest son. Austin Dickinson, 35, previously fronted Rise To Remain and As Lions.
Speaking to Steve Harkins of “TalkShopLive“, Dickinson said material would surface before the album itself: “Tracks will be out this year, a little bit, so people can hear a little bit of it. At some point this month, I’m shooting four or maybe five videos for it.”
He also left a broader tease hanging: “I’m pretty busy in ’27. And I think everybody’s gonna be very happy with what I’m busy with —in every sense of the word.”
