Aria have to be one of Russia’s oldest and longest-running heavy metal bands. They are also among the most popular, even though poor distribution of their records, and their insistence on singing almost exclusively in their native tongue, has made it difficult for international audiences to discover the group. Formed in the pre-glasnost days of the early ’80s by guitarist Vladimir Kholstinin and singer Valery Kipelov, Aria released their first eponymous album in 1985. Along with much of their subsequent output — including 1986’s Whom Are You With?, 1987’s Hero of Asphalt, and 1989’s Play With Fire — the band displayed a strong (some would say excessive) Iron Maiden influence, and, except for long-tenured bassist Vitaly Dubinin, featured an ever-rotating line-up of supporting musicians. In 2003 the band released the album Christening By Fire that introduced a new vocalist in Artur Berkut and a second guitarist, Sergey Popov, and new drummer Maxim Udalov. This set of 2 dvds were recorded during the Christening By Fire tour at Luzhniki Sport Palace in Moscow on the 18th of November 2003. For anyone that has never been to Russia but have come across this band and love their music its of course great to be able to experience an Aria show recorded in front of their home crowd
