ABBA, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden and horror cinema are quite an unusual combination. However, it turns out that the metal legend will soon star in a horror film inspired by the music of the Swedes.

According to Deadline, Bruce Dickinson has agreed to take part in a surprising project. It’s a horror film inspired by ABBA’s music. As if that were not enough, the co-creator of the work will be none other than Austin, Dickinson’s son, who is the vocalist of the London bands As Lions and Rise To Remain.

The film will be titled “Bjorn Of The Dead” and will focus on the history of the ABBA tribute band. The plot is quite simple. The musicians are trapped in a club with tribute bands of other bands when a zombie apocalypse breaks out outside. Bruce Dickinson is to play the main role in the production, but the cast will also include other well-known faces from the metal and rock community. No names have been mentioned so far.

The author of the story that we will see in the film is Andrew Prendergast, who will produce the horror film together with Dickinson’s son. Elza Kephart is the director, and work on production will begin next year. In interviews, Austin emphasizes that he is “honored” to take part in this “crazy adventure.”

“We can’t wait for you to see it. Put on your spandex, take care of your wigs and sharpen your axes. Bjorn is coming,” Deadline quoted Austin as saying. “We’re thrilled to create this blood-soaked gore festival with Austin’s unique, funny and terrifying stories about the workings of the music industry,” adds Andrew.

The news about the film was preceded by other news about Dickinson’s career. The musician informed fans about his first solo album in 18 years, “The Mandrake Project”, which will be an excuse to play an extensive concert tour. As part of it, the singer will also visit Poland. The musician will play at the Mystic Festival in Gdańsk, which will take place on June 5-8, 2024.
