Album: "THE CHEMICAL WEDDING EXPANDED EDIT. (CD)"

EAN/UPS: 5050749221421
Media type: CD

The Chemical Wedding is a Heavy Metal album released in 1998 by Bruce Dickinson in collaboration with guitarist/producer Roy Z. The album draws some inspiration from the works of William Blake - of whom some paintings are featured in the artwork, as well as both sung and spoken excerpts from Blake's prophetic works - although the name of the album and its title track derive from the Rosicrucian manifest the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz. As with the previous album, it featured Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith, former (and once again current) bandmate of Dickinson.

The film Chemical Wedding, with a screenplay by Dickinson, was released in May 2008. It features the title track from the album on its soundtrack, but concerns a story about the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley and is otherwise unrelated.
