The legend began in 1985 when the russian heavy metal band Aria (Arija) released their debut album called Megalomania. From this time on the band would be called the russian Iron Maiden, but this is megalomania within the comparison, on the one hand because Iron Maiden has had such a bigger impact on the whole NWOBHM movement and on the other hand because Aria are different. Of course you can't deny the main influence, but apart from that Aria are a russian band with russian lyrics, russian influences, a russian background and that is what you can hear in their debut or at least what you should hear.

I really love this album. Yes, it's not one of the best albums, but to me it's very worthy, and even underrated to some extent. It doesn't have a single bad song, although it has a lot of average ones. But overall, Мания Величия is a really good effort, especially for a debut record. This album has its own atmosphere, its own soul: very Russian, thoughtful and beautiful in the sense that the music here is very melodic and harmonious.
