After 25 years of silence, the Claymore are back! The historic band-in-progress led by Massimo Duronio returns with an extraordinary miniature rock opera, inspired by the famous piece In the Hall of the Mountain King, taken from the incidental music of Peer Gynt composed by Edvard Grieg.
Joining Duronio in this exciting comeback are two exceptionally talented musicians: Japanese bassist Yoshihiro "Yosh" Ishimura and French guitarist Thierry Zins, a very special guest star. This unique collaboration brings together Italy, France, and Japan for the Claymore's grand international return.
With this project, the band reinterprets Grieg's piece in a modern key, enriching it with original compositions and new material that blend classical music, heavy metal, prog, jazz, and fusion. A surprising and thrilling musical journey.
This book includes the complete guitar and bass scores of the five tracks that make up the Claymore's EP: a unique opportunity for fans to delve into the heart of their music and discover the secrets behind this extraordinary artistic rebirth.
