BRAINMAZE is a metal project created in 2013 by Bulgarian composer and bassist Ivan Shishkov.

What began as a collection of musical ideas written primarily on bass guitar gradually evolved into the concept album When Your Demons Come. Over more than a decade, Ivan developed the songs in his free time, experimenting with arrangements, structures and mixes while shaping the identity of BRAINMAZE.

The concept explores the inner demons that emerge when we are alone and our masks and armor fall away — Fear, Spite, Despair, Hatred, Uncertainty, Disillusion, Insanity, Envy, Anger and I'm terrified.

In November 2023, Ivan began recording the complete album with musicans from different country
Rob Davies /UK/ – vocals

German Maldonado /Argentina/ – guitars
Fabian Carrion Troya /Ecuador/ – midi drums
David Mendez /Argentina/ – acoustic drums
Studios:

The album was finished on December 30, 2024.

Released in 2025, When Your Demons Come represents the realization of a musical vision that began more than ten years earlier.

BRAINMAZE — metal born from the demons within.
