5/5
(1 votes)

The Chemical Wedding is the fifth solo album by English heavy metal singer Bruce Dickinson, released on 15 September 1998 through Sanctuary Records.

The record draws some inspiration from the works of William Blake, featuring sung and spoken excerpts of his prophetic works and poetry (notably And did those feet in ancient time on the track Jerusalem), and with cover art from his painting The Ghost of a Flea, although the name of the album and its title track derive from the Rosicrucian manifesto the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz.

As with the previous album, it featured Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith, then a member of Dickinson's solo outfit.

Mark GoldenOne evening in 1998, I saw Bruce Dickinson on Mtv going on a rant to Matt Pinfield about the shitty music scene, and to promote this new CD, so I was inspired to buy it, and I listened to this album many times. It remains a favorite.
