It’s been a few years since fans last heard of Nikolo Kotzev‘s BRAZEN ABBOT. Although ostensibly put on hold, the Bulgarian band celebrate their 20th anniversary this year, which is a great opportunity to release a CD/DVD combo simply titled “20 Years Of Brazen Abbot,” its audio part a collection of tracks from the ensemble’s five studio albums – including ones with guest singers such as Glenn Hughes and Joe Lynn Turner – and its video portion a recording of 2010’s concert in Plovdiv, with the latter vocalist at the front. Of course, there are covers alongside originals, yet the hard rock quality must be good throughout… But, at a later date, the legitimacy of the release became questionable.
A pity, there’s nothing on it from "Nostradamus" as it was Kotzev’s solo project, but players from EUROPE are there. And here’s a full running order of the discs:
