BRAZEN ABBOT Complete Recordings With 31-Piece String Orchestra

January 14, 2005

BRAZEN ABBOT, the brainchild of Bulgarian guitarist Nikolo Kotzev, have posted the following message on their web site:

"The new BRAZEN ABBOT album just got a new line-up. The musicians involved will be 39! This is because of the fact that Nikolo recorded and added a 31-piece string orchestra, which will be used throughout the new album. Nikolo scored the charts himself and Nelko Kolarov (the new keyboardist in BRAZEN ABBOT) conducted the recordings. Everything was recorded in early January in Bulgaria's leading symphonic recording hall — Studio 1 of the National Radio — with the orchestra 'The Sofia String Orchestra'. Nikolo is currently mixing the new album, which is expected to be ready in late January."

As previously reported, the upcoming album will contain 12 tracks:

Tracks with Joe Lynn Turner (ex-RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN):

Resurrection
More Than Money
