Aria is one of the oldest and most famous russian metal bands that plays classical heavy metal in the vein of NWOBHM.
Aria was founded in 1985 in Moscow, USSR by Vladimir Holstinin (guitar), Alik Granovsky (bass) and Valery Kipelov (vocal). Since 1986 the band (produced by Victor Vekshtein) started playing in small clubs and festivals. In 1985 and 1986 they recorded two debut albums “Mania Velichia” (Megalomania) and “S Kem Ty?” (Who Are You With?), released on tape.
In 1987 more than half of the members, including Granovsky and Andrey Bolshakov, left Aria and founded Master to play thrash metal. New Aria, though, became more successful. With Vitaly Dubinin (bass), Sergey Mavrin (guitar) and Maxim Udalov (drums) they recorded their new album Geroy Asfalta (Hero of the Speedway), the first album released by the state publishing monopoly “Melodia”. This album marked the rise of Aria’s popularity, and they even went to Germany on tour.
In 1989 the band dismissed their manager, Victor Vekshtein. Also Maxim Udalov was replaced by Alexander Maniakin. Aria released their next two albums Igra s Ogneom (Playing With Fire) and Krov za Krov (Blood For Blood), where their lyrics (all written by poetess Margarita Pushkina) shifted from social problems to mysticism and history. In 1994 the band found its own studio, “ARIA records”, and the two debut albums were remastered and re-released. (read more)
