Bruce Dickinson - Rain on the Graves - Video Cover

You gotta give it to him. Bruce Dickinson still has energy to spare at the ripe old age of 65 years.1 Apart from his heavy duties at the helm of the mighty Iron Maiden, he’s off to new pastures on his solo endeavor.

So, here we are back with Mighty Oaks‘s sophomore full-length album Dreamers. And a long wait it was indeed.
