"I just purchased your Pianotarium CD, It is EXCELLENT! My husband is a huge metallica fan. I am a classically trained pianist for 22 yrs now. I especially love "Nothing Else Matters" and "One". I would love to take on the project of learning to play these songs as a surprise for my husband and the love of music for myself. Thank you so much for inspiring us with your music!"

"I just wanted to tell you , I bought your at your concert in Modesto, for the simple fact you brought a tear to my eye when you were playing Metallica's 'Unforgiven'. I was in the army when I got that CD and took it everywhere I went and more than i can remember in combat . I was an Army Ranger for 3 yrs. I thank you for bringing me home. You may not know it but you did. So thanks, and I hope to see you near my town again soon."

A Piano Tribute to Metallica

"Pianotarium" is a solo piano album like no other- Pianist Scott D. Davis attacks the piano to create intensely beautiful versions of classic songs from his all-time favorite heavy metal band: Metallica!

Have you ever wondered how Metallica's driving rhythms, soaring melodies, and classical-like harmonies would sound if they were performed on the most powerful acoustic instrument ever invented? Would "Fade to Black" or "Nothing Else Matters" still be as hauntingly powerful if played only on piano? Could you still head-bang to "Master of Puppets"?

Scott D. Davis, the renowned "rock concert pianist" from California, believed it would work. In fact, he had dreamed of doing this album for years. He also knew it would take much more that just classical training or playing ability to pull it off.  Only a true head-banging thrash metal could do the arrangements justice. Someone who's been to the shows, played countless hours of "air guitar" along with the solos, whose practically worn out the grooves of their Metallica albums. 

"Pianotarium" reveals, in a new way, the genius that has made Metallica rise above the rest; and proves that the piano is a versatile, powerful instrument capable of so much more than "Classical" or "relaxation" music.

You've probably heard about all the Metallica tribute bands and cover albums that are out there. You might even have "Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos" in your CD collection right now. Awesome band, aren't they? But unfortunately there are also many so-called "tributes" that are little more than a record company's attempt to turn a buck off of the name of a famous artist.

But "Pianotarium" is truly a labor of love, arranged and performed by a die-hard metal-head, who also just happens to be an accomplished pianist. The "guitar solos" are all there, the heavy moments powerful, and the softer harmonies shine through with stunning purity.

Experience for yourself the pure, undistorted energy that is at the core of Metallica's greatness.  "Pianotarium" delivers sheer power with perfect clarity.
