CLAYMORE from Bulgaria - melodic death black metal _\,,/

[Zealotry]

The Bulgarian melodic death/black metal band CLAYMORE is formed in the
summer of 1999 in the city of Rouse. Founding members are Kamen
(drums, ex-VIPER), Martyn (guitar, ex-VOMITORY) and Velislav (bass, ex-
VIPER). Since then the band joined Tsvetelin (keyboards, ex-IK-1) and
vocalist Svetoslav (ex-Coprophag) to form the current line up.
CLAYMORE quickly became popular among Bulgarian fans with unique and
pure style of melodic death/black metal combining aggression and
melody in one with influences from other styles like
heavy,thrash,grind as well as a good amount of classical music. Their
first ever performance is in September 1999 to start a long tour in
many cities across Bulgaria captivating audiences everywhere. This
earns them a place at the biggest Bulgarian Underground Music Festival
(Bourgas 2000). At the end of 2000 CLAYMORE record their first demo
tracks quickly followed by a demo CD tilled Warriors of Claymore which
is posted on many web magazines and played on radio shows in Bulgaria
and abroad. During 2002 CLAYMORE worked hard on the saund quality for
the recording of the actual demo Release of 5 songs. These songs
represent their style and part of their live shows. CLAYMORE
remarkable popularity and success earns them a place in "Trash till
death";"Heatework festival"; "Heart Rock festival";"Chaos
fest";"Massacre Fest";"Open Air Legasy Fest";"Barock Fest";"Nightmare
Fest"where they played alongside well known international bands like
Destruction (Germany), Mystic circle (Germany), Napalm death(UK),
Sinister(Holland), Parricide(Poland), The Claymore(Germany), Lord
Belial (Sweden), Graveworm (Italy), Apostasy (Sweden), Eastern Front
(UK), Carnal (Poland),Acid Rain (Germany),Spiritual Ravishment
(Romania),Izegrim (Holland), Spoil Engine (Belgium), Gothic
(Romania),D.A.M.N.(Germany),Disdained (Serbia), Cilice(Holland).
CLAYMORE were also included in the unrealized Rock City Open Air where
they were about to play on stage with Immortal, Amon Amarth, etc.

I listened to all Claymore's songs, I think that this is the best
symphonic black/death metal bulgarian band. They have their own unique
style and I think, that, everyone true metal fan must listen to songs
like "Dying in a Dream, or "Holly Terror", "Built to Kill" THEY ARE
AMAZING!
