Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
The Bulgarian-born virtuoso guitarist, Nikolo Kotzev, whose home has been the Finnish town of Mariehamn since 1989, not only plays the guitar brilliantly, but also possesses considerable talent with the violin. He received private lessons at the tender age of five to play this instrument. As an adolescent, he began taking an interest in rock music and started playing guitar in his first rock band at the age of 15.
During his years of study, he gathered practical knowledge as a session guitarist in recording studios close to his location of study before he (without graduating from the academy) toured Scandinavia and Europe for several years with a top-forty band.
The next stop in his musical career was the Swedish group Baltimore, which practically consisted of only Nikolo and singer Bjorn Lodin. Together they made two albums which were released in Europe, Scandinavia and Asia, but the collaboration terminated due to personal and musical differences.
Nikolo who is not only an excellent musician but also an extremely talented writer and producer started working on his own songs to begin a solo project, later to be called Brazen Abbot. Three albums have been released so far, with many renowned musicians such as Joe Lynn Turner, Goran Edman and Glenn Hughes, lending their talents to those releases.

Product Description
In 1998 Nikolo started working on his most recent project Nostradamus which is a rock opera. The music and the main concept have been written, produced and arranged by himself. It is a fascinating combination of powerful rock music mixed with orchestral elements involving a full blown symphonic orchestra. It features a selection of internationally very well respected rock voices. The concept is based on the life and prophecies of the predictor Nostradamus who lived in the 15th century and it describes his predictions such as war, religions, the Inquisition, etc. .
Nostradamus is an extraordinary, very well crafted piece of art which is convenient for the new millennium and which will make a remarkable difference. A script for live / stage performances is already in the making, the ultimate aim is to perform the rock opera live.
