Ariya (�ри�) is a Russian Heavy Metal band, formed in 1985... Or maybe not like this. Ariya is the Russian Heavy Metal band. Formed back in the times of the Soviet Union, they became by far the best-known metal band in Russia, earning the local nickname "Russian Iron Maiden".During its long and turbulent history the band has experienced a number of splits and lineup changes. Due to sheer amount of members who left to Start My Own, there is no less than five bands directly splintered from Ariya, and some more bands that splintered from these. Said immediate five-band group is called "Ariya "Family"" ("Семейка" �рии) by fans, and includes Master, Mavrin, Kipelov, Arteriya, and Artur Berkut. It's often said that Ariya is a "forge of personnel" for the Russian metal scene, and there are barely any metal bands that have never been associated with ''Ariya'' in some way or form.Current members Mikhail Zhitnyakov – lead vocals (2011-present) Vladimir Holstinin – guitar (1985-present) Sergey Popov – guitar (2002-present) Vitaly Dubinin – bass, backing vocals (1987-present) Maxim Udalov – drums (1987-1988; 2002-present)Former members Valeriy Kipelov – lead vocals (1985-2002) Alik Granovsky – bass, backing vocals (1985-1986) Kirill Pokrovsky – keyboards, backing vocals (1985-1986) Alexander Lvov – drums (1985) Andrey Bolshakov – guitar, backing vocals (1985-1986) Igor Molchanov – drums (1985-1986) Sergey Mavrin – guitar (1987-1995) Alexander Manyakin – drums (1988-2002) Sergey Terentyev – guitar (1995-2002) Artur Berkut – lead vocals (2002-2011)Discography: Мани� Величи� (Megalomania) - 1985 С Кем Ты?

Full-Circle Revolution
 Ariya (Music) / int_4ef62a4d
comment
Full-Circle Revolution: The song "To Kill the Dragon" warns about revolutions eventually becoming no better than the regimes they fought against. It uses the dragon from a tale of "Who kills the dragon will become one" as a metaphor for tyranny and oppression. The chorus ends with the words "Be ready, against all odds, to kill the dragon inside yourself".

Step Up to the Microphone: Vitaly Dubinin sang most lead vocals on "Пытка тишиной" (Torture by Silence) and "Поле битвы" (Battlefield), as well as a verse or two on a few other songs.

Hordes from the East
 Ariya (Music) / int_5ac8f358
comment
Hordes from the East: Title track of Through All Times is about Scythians, who are said to be called "the darknessnote "Тьма" meaning both "darkness" and uncountably large numbers, the curse". Unusually, it's sung from their perspective. It may be a reference to a poem "Scythians" by Alexander Blok, notable early 20th century Russian poet, which includes some similar wording and ironically likens Russians to Scythians.

World War III
 Ariya (Music) / int_6454966e
comment
World War III: "Last Sunset" from appropriately titled Armageddon describes "the third clash of worlds", which mainly means a nuclear bombing. The rest of the song consists of religious references, even namedropping the album's title.

Painful Rhyme
 Ariya (Music) / int_71a34999
comment
Painful Rhyme: Mostly found in songs with lyrics by Lobanov, especially "По�ледний закат" (Last Sunset), which rhymes "�жига� дотла" (burning to ashes) and "дыхание зла" ([[Narm the breath of evil]]).

Epic Rocking: About half of their albums have a song that's at least eight minutes long, but the titular "Curse of the Seas" takes the cake, at 12 minutes and 5 seconds long.

comment
Shell-Shocked Veteran: The hero of "Бой продолжает��" (The Battle Goes On) is a veteran of an unspecified conflict (given the timeframe, likely the Afghan War) who couldn't adapt to peacetime, saying that "Nobody needs me, [I'm] a shadow among people".

Badass Biker: Biker imagery is featured in cover artworks of Hero of Asphalt and Armageddon. There's also the title song from the former album and cover version of Manowar's "Return of the Warlord", known as "Пробил ча�" ("The Time Has Come").

Heavy Meta
 Ariya (Music) / int_ab2f3f27
comment
Heavy Meta: "Дай жару!" (Give 'em Hell), is a song about how fans should rock out, lamenting "where are the men of metal?". It sounds quite goofy by Ariya's standards, especially due to being written in major key and having rather immature lyrics.

Horrible History Metal
 Ariya (Music) / int_abad2931
comment
Horrible History Metal: Mostly about Russian history, as one may expect. "Varyag" tells a romanticized story of the eponymous cruiser, that, alongside a single gunboat, was ambushed in a neutral portnote Attacking a ship in a neutral port was against the law, but waiting outside until their supplies run out was not by the Japanese fleet at the start of the Russo-Japanese war. Despite being badly outnumbered, Russians attempted to break through the blockade, but failed and were forced to scuttle both ships. "Attack of the Dead" is about the famous battle of Osowiec Fortress during WWI. During the siege Germans used Deadly Gas and moved in, expecting little resistance, but were faced by about hundred who, despite being outnumbered about 70:1 and coughing up pieces of their own lungs, repelled the attack with a bayonet charge.

Last Note Nightmare: A lengthy case in "Волонтер" (Volunteer), where the last three out of eight minutes are occupied by an omnious keyboard ambient accompanied by distorted voices mumbling something.
