Thomas Zwijsen - Nylon Maiden

Quote:
Dutch classical guitarist Thomas Zwijsen will release his album Nylon Maiden on January 8th. The album contains 11 unique arrangements of Iron Maiden tracks on classical guitar. Additional musicians on the album are Anne Bakker (violin), Nathanael Taekema (drums), Tony Newton (Voodoo Six, bass) and Blaze Bayley (Iron Maiden, Wolfsbane, vocals).

Thomas has worked closely with Blaze Bayley; as composer, co-producer and lead guitarist on Blaze's most recent "The King Of Metal" album and tour, playing to thousands of fans across all of Europe. Thomas’ 'Nylon Maiden' videos have had over 1.5 million views on YouTube, with his technical and tuneful abilities never failing to impress.

Nylon Maiden will be released on CD and as digital download. Zwijsen released a single with 2 non-album tracks (The Evil That Men Do / Run To The Hills) on red vinyl and as digital download on November 26th.

Supporting this album Thomas already toured with Maiden uniteD, the all-acoustic Maiden tribute project featuring Damian Wilson (Threshold, Headspace) and Ruud Jolie (Within Temptation), on most of their European dates in November and December.

From January Thomas will go on a four-month tour with Blaze Bayley in South America and Europe, playing a double set: first opening the show with a solo Nylon Maiden set, before a full acoustic set with Blaze.
