THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bulgarian Visionary Ivan Shishkov Unleashes His Debut Metal Album WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME Under the Project Name BRAINMAZE

After more than a decade of grinding in the shadows, Bulgarian musician and photographer Ivan Shishkov steps into the light with the release of WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME , the debut full length from his solo project BRAINMAZE. This record is the result of ten years of persistence, late night creativity, and a whole lot of fire that refused to die.

Every track on the album first came alive on Ivan’s bass guitar, the instrument that has been by his side since the beginning. These riffs and ideas lived in his mind for years before being shaped into the intense and aggressive sound now etched into the album.

“This music has lived in my head for years,” Ivan says. “Now it’s finally real.”

Working on the project whenever life allowed, often past midnight, Ivan pushed boundaries with arrangements, styles and structures. The album digs straight into the darkness we all carry, confronting the demons that crawl out when we’re alone without our armor. Fear, spite, despair... nothing gets sugar coated here.

BRAINMAZE is a true solo effort in concept, music, lyrics, photography and design, but Ivan brought in an international lineup of exceptional musicians to make the vision whole. The album features performances from:

Rob Davies /UK/ – vocals
Ramon Martinez /Venezuela/ – rhythm and lead guitars
German Maldonado /Argentina/ – guitar solos on “Despair,” “Uncertainty,” and “Envy”
Fabian Carrion Troya /Ecuador/ – midi drums
David Mendez /Argentina/ – acoustic drums

Recording and production support came from Ilarion Ivanenko /Ukraine/ on editing and mixing, with final mastering by Colin Davis at Imperial Mastering /USA/.

After endless rounds of recording, re recording, editing and passing files around the world, the album now stands complete.

“Yes,” Ivan says, “I managed to bring to life the vision I’ve carried for over 10 years. I believe that soon, I will come out of the darkness and return to the real world.”

WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME is available now, ready to drag listeners deep into the heart of BRAINMAZE.

Long live the king METAL!
