Paul Di&#8217;Anno and Bruce Dickinson met for the first time and had a friendly chat right in Zagreb. By coincidence, Bruce is promoting his new album &#8216;The Mandrake Project&#8217; in Zagreb on tour on July 13, and on the same day, after Bruce&#8217;s show, Paul Di&#8217;Anno had a live promotion and signing session for his first album with the Paul Di&#8217;Annos&#8217; Warhorse project. This was an exceptional opportunity for the two icons of heavy metal music and the legendary singers of the band Iron Maiden to meet for the first time after almost half a century. This is an exceptional night for the entire Iron Maiden community and for metal fans around the world, because it shows that Iron Maiden and everyone who was in that band, is one big family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the book &#8216;666 Days with the Beast&#8217;, Stjepan described all the key moments of Paul&#8217;s recovery and new life, including the meeting with Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson.

Navigator<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Paul Di&#8217;Anno&#8217;s Warhorse:<br \/>\n<\/strong>The core of the band and founders are Paul Di&#8217;Anno, vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca, guitar and Ante Pupa\u010di\u0107 Pupi, guitar.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Andrews, a British singer better known by his stage name Paul Di\u2019Anno, his nearly half-century-long career began explosively with Iron Maiden, when with the EP \u2018The Soundhouse Tapes\u2019, and the albums \u2018Iron Maiden\u2019 and \u2018Killers \u2018 forever cemented the foundations of heavy metal. With timeless hits like \u2018Iron Maiden\u2019, \u2018Remember Tomorrow\u2019, \u2018Running Free\u2019, \u2018Phantom of the Opera\u2019, \u2018Killers\u2019, \u2018Wratchild\u2019, Murders in the Rue Morgue\u2019, \u2018Purgatory\u2019 etc., they influenced numerous musicians and bands and were responsible for the creation or development of many subgenres in metal music.<\/p>\n<p>Paul is known as one of the most productive singers, who has a huge number of albums and other releases behind him, either as a solo artist or a member of bands such as Gogmagog, Di\u2019Anno\u2019s Battlezone, Praying Mantis, Killers, Rockfellas, Architects of Chaoz or Warhorse. In all his incarnations, Paul always knew how to find a way to the fans, with numerous hits, uncompromising singing, which is confirmed by his successful career and furious live shows around the world.<\/p>\n<p>For the last eight years, Paul faced serious health problems that almost ended his career, but thanks to his loyal fans, friends, Iron Maiden and his strong will to overcome the disease, Paul is on a big world tour again, and he recorded a new album with the Paul D&#8217;Anno&#8217;s Warhorse band, which will be released in mid-2024 for BraveWords Records, a new label, which is also an integral part of one of the most strongest brands in heavy metal music.<\/p>\n<p>This icon of heavy metal with the heart of a punk rock rebel never spared himself in his life, but he always gave everything for music and fans, which is why they have followed him faithfully for almost fifty years.<\/p>\n<p>Warhorse is the original band\/project of Paul Di\u2019Anno. The first idea of forming a band arose in December 2021, when Paul and guitarist Hrvoje Madiraca met in Zagreb, Croatia. The formation and naming of this project happened simultaneously with the writing and recording of new songs, which were started immediately after Paul and Hrvoje joined hands and thus formed the band. Warhorse independently released the DVD single \u2018Stop the War\u2019 in a limited edition of 666 copies and sold it out in just a few days. This was followed by the fantastic \u2018Stop the War\u2019 lyrics video, which delighted fans around the world. The Warhorse project gathered fantastic guest musicians on some songs, and a video will be filmed for almost every song on the album. The core of the band itself is the three \u2018horsemen\u2019 Paul Di\u2019Anno \u2013 vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca \u2013 guitars and Ante Pupa\u010di\u0107 Pupi \u2013 Guitars. Fans at Warhorse live shows can expect a live explosion, musical virtuosos and a top stage attraction. Paul Di\u2019Anno in the stadium edition, would be the most appropriate description. Warhorse is a parallel band to his classic \u2018Paul Di\u2019Anno\u2019 line-up and unlike his standard set list, Warhorse concerts will abound with Warhorse songs, with the addition of Iron Maiden classics and special, unexpected covers chosen by Paul Di\u2019Anno.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About BraveWords Records:<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is a serious void which desperately needs to be filled, hard-working and creative bands that have yet to find a partnership and a mutual vision with a professional team.
