FELLOWCRAFT, indie prog band from Washington DC, has teamed up with former Bruce Dickinson bassist Chris Dale to record a new rendition of “I Will Not Accept The Truth”, originally off his 1996 album, Skunkworks. This new song appears on their upcoming album ‘This Is Where You’ll Find Me’, due out February 26th, 2021.
FELLOWCRAFT’s unique take on the song explores a more progressive styling than the original version, a brooding grunge song about the power of not giving up. Considered by some to be the best Dickinson solo effort, Skunkworks saw the metal singer taking a radical shift in direction. Almost entirely eschewing connections to Iron Maiden and that more traditional approach to rock, this album was very much in the alternative vein of its time, having much more in common with bands like Soundgarden and Alice In Chains. This is precisely why it’s a personal favorite of Fellowcraft’s band members.

“Skunkworks was one of my all-time favorite records growing up“, says lead guitarist Pablo Anton, “and it’s had a lasting influence on my musical taste ever since, which is why we decided to pay homage to it. I also cannot imagine a more adept song to convey the frustration and powerlessness we are all feeling right now during these strange times we are living”. “I Will Not Accept the Truth (featuring Chris Dale)” is the band’s second single working with Mexican rock producer Tonio Ruiz (QBO, Coda, Agora, Jet Jaguar).FELLOWCRAFT will release their third album ‘This Is Where You’ll Find Me’ on February 26th, with special guest appearances by Nate Bergman (Lionize) and Chris Dale (Bruce Dickinson). They previously released singles for “Coyote and the Desert Rose“ and “Make No Sound” (feat. Nate Bergman).
