BIOGRAPHY

Paul Andrews (1958-2024) was a British singer better known by his stage name Paul Di’Anno. His nearly half-century-long career began explosively with Iron Maiden, when with the EP ‘The Soundhouse Tapes’, and the albums ‘Iron Maiden’ and ‘Killers ‘ forever cemented the foundations of heavy metal. With timeless hits like ‘Iron Maiden’, ‘Remember Tomorrow’, ‘Running Free’, ‘Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Killers’, ‘Wratchild’, Murders in the Rue Morgue’, ‘Purgatory’ etc., they influenced numerous musicians and bands and were responsible for the creation or development of many subgenres in metal music.

Paul was known as one of the most productive singers, who had a huge number of albums and other releases behind him, either as a solo artist or a member of bands such as Gogmagog, Di’Anno’s 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.

For the last decade of his life, Paul faced serious health problems that almost ended his career, but thanks to his loyal fans and his strong will to overcome the disease, Paul is back a big world tour again, and he recorded a new album with the Paul D’Anno’s Warhorse band, released in mid-2024 for Brave Words Records.

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.

Paul died suddenly on October 21, 2024 at the age of 66. Many friends and fellow musicians paid tribute to him and his legacy will forever be written in ascending letters in the great book of rock and roll.

The Very Best of Paul Di’Anno's Post-Maiden Years

Paul Di’Anno releases a new album, ‘The Book of The Beast’, via Conquest Music on September 27th 2024. The vinyl double album (available in Blood Red, Virgin White and Cold Steel coloured vinyl) and 2-disc CD/DVD include five previously unreleased tracks, along with a carefully curated collection of songs that distills many of the best moments from Di’Anno’s fascinating and formidable career. The CD/DVD also includes rare live, promotional and acoustic video footage.

Deep cuts from albums going back to Paul’s Battlezone, Killers and Solo days have been painstakingly re-mastered to give them a more up to date and polished production plus some of Paul’s rare acoustic, rehearsal and demo recordings have been added as a special bonus.

Perhaps the most interesting addition to this album is the unexpected reworking of two Iron Maiden classics, but with a dark twist. Both Remember Tomorrow and Wrathchild have been treated to a facelift with Paul duetting alongside Tony Martin (Black Sabbath), ZP Theart (Dragonforce) and Lidya Balaban (Crowley).

Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse and Their Self-Titled Debut Album

Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse released their self-titled debut album on July 19th via BraveWords Records. “Metal” Tim Henderson of BraveWords Records, “The killer is on the loose again and original Iron Maiden singer Paul D’Anno is riding his Warhorse into new battles with eyes of fire and a fighting spirit. Wrath children pay attention!” Buy Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse album HERE!

Paul Di’Anno speaking about his album, “Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse is my first studio project after many years of being away from the studio and not performing. I remember when we announced that we were recording an album in Croatia with, to me, completely unknown musicians, many were shocked and no one knew in which direction we would go. Warhorse exudes pure energy and reflects everything I went through while recording the album.”

Hrvoje Madiraca (guitars) adds, “This record is a product of hard work combined with the voice of the man, the myth and the legend of our dear Wrathchild! Old school metal you want. That s what you’ll get!”

Ante Pupacic (guitars), known as “Pupi” continues, “When it comes to music, I’ve done all sorts of things, but I’m particularly proud of this album. Two years of work, composing, arranging, recording, editing, deleting, and so on. We went through all kinds of emotions, from euphoria to agony. Each song was carefully polished to achieve its current form. On the album, everyone added their touch, both Hrvoje and I, in terms of lyrics, music, and production, all ennobled by the powerful vocals of our legend, Paul Di’Anno.

THE BEAST RESURRECTION TOUR 2022/2023/2024/2025

‘The Beast Resurrection Tour’ is Paul Di’Anno’s big comeback tour that covered 4 continents with over 120 shows. All the shows of that tour were held after Paul’s arrival in Croatia for long-term treatment, with the aim of saving his life and getting him out of his wheelchair. All of Paul’s previous tours will be gradually added to our concert archive. ‘The Beast Resurrection Tour’ started with several separate live shows in Croatia, Germany and Greece, in order to announce Paul’s big return and changes in his ‘new’ life. Due to his sudden death, the tour was cancelled. Paul has performed in over 100 performances in Europe (almost all countries), South America (Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia… etc), North America (Canada, USA, Mexico), Asia ( Israel, India and Japan), Australia and Morocco. His legacy will live on forever.
