Description
Paul Di'Anno's Warhorse marks the long-awaited return of one of heavy metal's most iconic voices, delivering a powerful debut from the former Iron Maiden frontman's latest project. Recorded across Croatia and the UK during 2022-2023, the album captures Di'Anno in revitalized form, backed by a tight, hard-hitting band that leans into classic heavy metal energy while maintaining a modern edge.
From the opening title track "Warhorse" through the driving anthems "Get Get Ready" and "Go," the album wastes no time establishing its intent--straightforward, no-frills metal built on muscular riffs, punchy rhythms, and Di'Anno's unmistakable vocal grit. Tracks like "Stop The War" and "The Doubt Within" add a more reflective, thematic dimension, while "Here Comes The Night" and "Forever Bound" showcase the band's ability to balance melody with weight. There's even room for curveballs like "Tequila," adding personality without breaking the album's momentum.
What sets this release apart is Di'Anno's performance--raw, seasoned, and surprisingly dynamic, proving that his voice still carries the urgency and attitude that defined early heavy metal. Supported by Warhorse members Hrvoje Madiraca and Ante Pupačić Pupi, the album feels like both a continuation of legacy and a fresh statement, aimed squarely at fans of classic metal with an appetite for authenticity.
Critics have responded in kind, with The Metal Mag declaring, "The man is back! Once again the survivor of Heavy Metal is bringing another project that kicks the world like a bomb," while also noting, "The great voice we all know and love from the first Maiden album is here... this album is going to blast the world with a hammer," and calling it "one of the best records for the summer."
