A review by
Pierre Tombale February 19, 2004
This 1991 release contains eight songs in a total playing time of 40 Minutes and 3 seconds of good vocal and instrumental performances of the five russians. Valerij Kipelov's vocal performance show it's best sides right at the beginning on the tracks 'Farewell Norfolk!' and 'Zombie'. 'Antichrist' and the title track 'Blood For Blood' (Krov za krov) remind you most of Iron Maiden's style. In general the influence of the bass player Vitalij Dubinin sounds pretty much like Steve Harris, but the guitars of Vladimir Holstinin and Sergej Mavrin sound most like Iron Maiden on the above named tracks. Well, what else can be said about the russian Iron Maiden? Though the similarities to the english band are obvious, the originality and uniqueness of Aria can't be denied. They are not just a copy of the more famous british metal flagship (though for example the music oo the refrain of 'Krov za Krov' sounds pretty much like a passage from 'The Prophecy' (Seventh Son album), but you can't really say that it's the same), they are a band of their own, having enough guts to show the world pwerful heavy metal in other than english language! The sound can be compared, but also has it's own elements. They went through more difficulties for a longer time (several administrative problems in russia) than their english equivalent and still made their way.
If you like Iron Maiden you have to give Aria a try. Spasibo Aria for more Maiden than most people thought does exist! In fact you have an equivalent for the eighties and early nineties of Iron Maiden, but own songs, russian language, hard to say something more, just take this 7.25 points from me, for a good album!

Blood for Blood is one of their best. My favorites are Antichrist, Blood fro Blood, Demons. B.f.B is about Pontiy Pilat and Jesus. Nice thing Demons: Kipelov sing "Let me go mad... For Madman there is no questions... Demons are in my soul..." 8 good tracks.
