Kikimora was founded back in 2011 by Nikolo Kotzev (Brazen Abbot, Nostradamus, Robin Gibb), immediately after moving back to his home country Bulgaria. The name of the band comes from an ancient evil spirit in the Slavic mythology. Nikolo’s idea was to write new songs in Bulgarian language, focusing on live performances on local ground. Soon the band took a leading position on the Bulgarian rock scene, started playing large outdoor shows and headlining festivals in the country. The band started enjoying quite a large media attention and made many appearances on TV and radio shows. Along with Nikolo’s own material, the band performed many legendary rock anthems from great bands like Deep Purple, Rainbow & AC/DC among others. During the years Kikimora backed up guest singers like Joe Lynn Turner, Doogie White and Jorn Lande and made quite a few shows with them in Bulgaria. Along with the live work, Nikolo created original material, which was released in 2015 with the album called “Kikimora”. Around 2016 the band participated in a spectacle with a symphonic orchestra, performing opera classics in rock arrangements with opera singers, plus the bands own singer Nikola Zdravkov. After a few showcases, the band carried on with three of the country’s opera houses, performing a similar show called “One Night In The Opera” drawing large crowds around the country. After quite a few successful concerts, the band made another crossover, “Children In Time”, a tribute to Deep Purple and Rainbow, performed again with a symphonic orchestra. They followed that up with another one, called ”Here We Go Again”, a Whitesnake tribute. The next one was called “They Say Rock Is Dead”, a tribute to the rock music of the 70s and the 80s. In late 2019 Nikolo began building a recording studio. Shortly after the studio was completed, a decision was made to record a new album in the English language. Work began in July 2020 and the album was finished in February 2021. The end result is explosive!

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of prog rockers Kikimora to the label for the release of their upcoming album "For A Broken Dime" on July 7, 2023. Kikimora was founded in 2011 by guitarist Nikolo Kotzev (who also founded Brazen Abbot) after moving back to his home country of Bulgaria. His vision was to create a band with a contemporary sound and approach, but also built on classic rock traditions. This vision and his subsequent recruitment of a stellar cast of players has resulted in a band that delivers modern, heavy and melodic rock performed with a high level of musicianship. At their onset, Kikimora concentrated their efforts on live performances, performing original music, as well as covers, sung in their native language. With time, the band began working on collaborations with the National Opera Theatres in Bulgaria, making a series of cross-over performances featuring musical tributes and original music. The band also played and greatly enjoyed a number of shows with guest vocalists, including legendary names like Jorn Lande, Joe Lynn Turner and Doogie White. In 2015, the band released a debut album of original material and continued playing live gigs, mostly large outdoor shows, many of which took place with orchestras and choirs. The live shows quickly became an unforgettable celebration for the audience and Kikimora rapidly became one of the most popular bands in Bulgaria, garnering lots of media interest and quite a few TV and radio appearances. In 2021, the band released first English language album “Dirty Nails", which brought them some well-deserved and well-earned international recognition. Unfortunately, shortly after releasing “Dirty Nails”, the band's recording studio was struck by a devastating fire, which delayed planned productions by a few months. Now, back on track, Kikimora returns with new album “For A Broken Dime”. The band remains true to the main philosophy: spectacular musicianship, dressed in a contemporary sound, production and approach. The band puts an emphasis on the melodic songs, which in many cases can even be called AOR, despite the heavier than usual sound. Regardless of how you want to label Kikimora's music, fans of melody and high-level musicianship will find much to be delighted with here.
