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 is very excited at the possibility of this collection bringing belated attention to many of his songs that may have slipped past the casual listener. “I’ve never felt that my albums were ever given the promotion they deserved and record labels just didn’t take me seriously” Di’Anno comments. “The guys at Conquest Music are really on the case so I hope more people will get to hear my music now.”
