Im russian and listen mostly to atmospheric BM. Don't like hearing russian accent in english lyrics and prefer english lyrics over russian. But hey there are exceptions! In fact Elderwind released thieir epic LP called "The colder the night / Чем холоднее ночь" deffinitly must check if you are atmospheric BM fan.

[@sashaboutin5584]

I've been discovering many Russian bands as of late and Elderwind's debute, The Magic Of Nature (Волшебство живой природы) is also a must! Melankoli is another great Russian atmo-BM band worth checking out.

I love the Russian lyrics in thrash metal. Just like German, it has a very agressive sound that fits the genre.

Scald are one of the finest heavy metal bands to ever exist. Will of the Gods is Great Power is a perfect album, and the band's legacy reflects that.

Hi guys, thanks for the awesome episode. It's so nice to see some russian bands getting recognition.

[@natronski]

Great overview of the scene! I lived there for 7 years and played in several bands in different cities (Kurgan, Samara, and Saint Petersburg), and it is such a challenge to be in a band there, compared to back in the US. Having said that, the Russian metalheads are super serious about their music and are very dedicated to mastering their instruments. Thanks for shining some light on this often ignored genre...

[@guilhermebrigido-borba9229]

Aria is one of my favorite bands ever ! Like every band, they had some up and downs in their carrier, but for me they had more ups than downs. During their carrier they improved their sound a lot, exploring different types of metal styles, such as speed metal, heavy metal , power metal and symphonic metal elements in their music . They previous vocalists ( Valery Kipelov and Arthur Berkut ) are great, and the current one is also very good ( Mikhail ), but i would say that Kipelov had a very special role in Aria's history, this guy have such a strong and powerful voice ( reminds a bit of Bruce Dickinson ) and he still sings with Aria in some special concerts. I've never been to an Aria concert, but i have seen a few live concerts on youtube and they sound amazing ! Aria is definitely a band that you should add in your setlist.

[@АлександрМягких-з1е]

Kipelov has his own band called ... "Kipelov" xD. I advise their first album, "Rivers of Time" (Reki Vremen) and the song "I am Free" (Ya svoboden). I was at his 60th birthday jubilee concert. Still hot and huge!

[@callespringer9718]

The dark, foresty pagan/folk-ish metal scene in Russia is fantastic, as is their folk in general. I also love their pure death scene, though my favorite Russian-language death band is actually from Belarus (Некросепсис/Necrosepsis). They also have loads and loads of good modern djent-y bands, with their appropriate virtuoso guitar players. I never liked their more traditional heavy metal stuff though, as most if it started back in the late 70's and 80's (yep, that was during the Soviet era and those bands were literally underground, hiding away from state censors at the time) with total NWOBHM fanboys eventually becoming more or less copies of Judas Priest, Maiden etc, some with nearly entire songs seemingly just stolen. So musically, they're not awfully interesting, though the whole underground aspect obviously is. Anyway, yeah. I'd like to mention the Siberian progressive rock/metal band "Extrovert" by the way, they're virtuosos the whole bunch (as is customary for that genre), but have a distinct vibe to them that is like a mix of Dream Theater and Pagan's Mind or something, with a Russian touch. They have released at least two records entirely in English too, but the pronunciation is not that great at all times, so even with their vocalists excellent abilities it's still better in Russian overall.

[@СемёнСемёнов-ы1ь]

High five, man! Took from my tongue! Those molded NWOBH-copycats are sooo farting pity... But russian folk/pagan/traditional scene outshines all the third-rated nonames and is truly original and unique. And do not forget DVAR - they are one of a kind musical trip!

Oh yes, you're right @DarkAgnesDoom Nice video! Although now that I have you - I really think you guys could dip your toes into the microgenre Dungeon Synth; it's an offshoot of black metal as it got more and more atmospheric

[@creamcheese65]

Favorite Russian bands: Kauan (earlier material is atmospheric doom, later is achingly beautiful post-rock), Grey Heaven Fall (dissonant blackened thrash), and End Zone (progressive thrash, defunct unfortunately). Now, to get really deep...Chinese metal. Go check out 黑麒 (Black Kirin).

This is awesome!!! There are so many killer bands out there!!! As a huge power metal fan, the first song I heard was "Runaway From Dark" by Archontes (I was hooked on "that freight train drumming". Epidemia, TRUST X, Vikont, Sergei Mavrin (ex-Aria), Kipelov (ex-Aria), AELLA, Arktida, Emerald Mind, Charizma, and Hammerforce are all excellent power metal bands. Mechanical Poet is, well, Mechanical Poet. Sunless Rise is an amazing technical melodic death metal band with killer musicianship!!! Extrovert is a mind blowing prog metal band which reminds me of earlier Dream Theater, while retaining their own unique sound!!! If you like Kevin Moore-era DT definitely check out the last album. It took me awhile to get used to the Russian vocalist style, but they have some really amazing vocalists. Valery Kipelov has an incredible range and is now probably in my top ten vocalists list.

[@jurkobolf5905]

Probably my favourite band from Russia at the moment is Pseudogod. Their album Deathwomb Catechesis is amazing and if you like black death and you arent familiar with this band you should definetly check it out.

Haha that's alright but man I really appreciate the effort and what you guys are doing especially with this series which I think is a stroke of genius. I have heard the scald album before and liked it a lot. I was aware of the band aria as well since they are so legendary. I should check out the albums that you suggested since they sound really exciting. Since being more of a thrash head I was drawn towards the Russian scene especially for the thrash bands that came out of there like aspid and shah. Russian thrash metal has a very unique style since it's usually highly technical with aggressive raspy vocals. The music is heavily Megadeth influenced with like extremely top-notch guitar work. I am not sure if many have noticed but they also have a lot of influences and similarities to aggressive heavy/speed metal bands like turbo from Poland. When I heard Russian thrash it did remind me of Satan's cavalry by turbo or kawaleria sztana

[@ronin47-ThorstenFrank]

Great compilation - but one thing: you should have (honorable) mentioned the song The Avenger from Kruiz. This song is very near in it´s themes and feel to viking metal and was imho had a much better atmospheric feel than contemporary Manowar. As I heard this song in 88 it blew me away.

Hey, Sound of the Beast! That's still my favorite book on heavy metal history.

Also, this was was an episode I really wanted to see, because Russia has a neat scene going on. The entire former Eastern Bloc does, for that matter. Good power metal and black metal coming out of those countries. I'm also waiting to see what you guys do with the Japanese scene. It's sooooo huge, but I'm really curious to see you guys focus on the anti-idol scene specifically. There's some crazy shit coming out of that.

You made a very critical error in your video. The album cover that you used for Arias debut is actually the album cover of the cover album by the all female metal group who did a cover of Arias debut that is not the original actual cover for res album. How do I know? I've been a fan of Aria since 2004 here in America as an American and I've actually kind of been to them religiously almost and have more from them than any other American including a one of a kind pullover hoodie that is a bootleg that you will probably never be able to find again so if anyone knows their debut and the fact that I also got the logo from the debut tattooed on my arm I think it would be me so I can guarantee without a shadow of a doubt that that cover is completely wrong it's closed but it's not the actual cover for Aria it's for the album done by the female metal band that was covering the entire album
