Na sluzhbe sily zla

Revered as a foundational classic of Eastern Bloc heavy metal, this album—officially titled 'Hero of a Freeway' for censorship reasons—showcases the virtuosic guitar work of the newly formed Kholstinin-Mavrin duo. The band flawlessly executes a dramatic, Iron Maiden-influenced sound, complete with galloping basslines and Valery Kipelov's soaring, operatic vocals.
