Album Notes & Community Reviews
Aria's 'Khimera' continues the Moscow band's status as Russia's defining heavy metal act, with Vitaly Dubinin and Vladimir Holstinin's songwriting and Valery Kipelov's vocals in the Iron Maiden lineage. It was among the last Aria albums before Kipelov's departure to form his own band.
