Graham Bonnet and Bruce Dickinson sing together on “The Fifth Force Of Nature”, which came out on 12 October with a video. It is the first single from “Circuit Breaker”, the Graham Bonnet Band’s fourth album, due on 26 March 2027 through Frontiers Music with eleven songs.
“Having Bruce Dickinson perform a duet with us on this album was a thrill; he is an incredible singer and our voices blend together so beautifully,” Bonnet says. Dickinson replies that “it was an honour to sing this terrific song with Graham, truly a vocal legend!”
There are more guests. Roger Glover plays bass on “Wait For The Day To Break”, and it is the first time he has worked with Bonnet since “Down To Earth” (1979), the Rainbow album he himself produced and the one on which Bonnet sang “Since You Been Gone”. Kai Hansen appears on “The Captain”, and Russ Ballard, who wrote that song, has contributed material to the new record.
The band is completed by Beth-Ami Heavenstone on bass, Conrado Pesinato on guitar, Shane Gaalaas on drums and Alessandro Bertoni on keyboards. Pesinato produced the album and Heavenstone is executive producer. The label says there is a fourth guest on the record and has not named them yet.
