People think that aria is bad because they stole many things from IM and JP. But i can say that first of all this is no matter because thier music has incredible powerful dramatic melodies and solo that I do not see in the music of Iron Maiden. And second some people talk about "plagiarism" even when we have absolutely different songs, just stilistically identical

I mean, what are we comparing?

Who's better?

For one, I haven't even heard of the Russian band.

It's going to be lopsided when if I were a betting man a vast majority haven't heard of the band against one of the biggest bands in the world.

The answer may be different in Ruissia, and possibly justifiably so, but it isn't even a question elsewhere in the world.

I dont know maybe i just not understand somthing and i must listen Iron Maiden more but i still with Aria at this point

You started this thread asking for peoples opinions.No need to get defensive when their answer isnt the 1 you're looking for.

If you think Aria is better thats awesome,but dont expect most that reply in this thread to feel the same way

Maybe if you would speak russian you would apricate it more

Doubtful. I listen to plenty of foreign language music. Sortilege is one of my favorite heavy metal bands, despite not being able to understand their French lyrics. Aria is good, but they're simply not on the level of Iron Maiden. Hardly any band is on the level of Iron Maiden.

I had not heard of Aria before but I looked them up on Wikipedia and found this interesting

"Most of Aria's lyrics have been written not by the band's members but by professional poets Margarita Pushkina and Alexander Yelin"

But they sound a lot like Iron Maiden, the first album you posted has a very similar sound to Somewhere in Time

Honestly many people in russia think that thier lyriks overated and that they just a comersial project

So what? They may sound like IM but music Iron Maiden NEVER not give me that feeling that music aria do. Honestly when I listen IM I think that this is just boring

Do you prefer Aria because they are Russian? I listened to a bit more of their music and I thought it was good. But Iron Maiden are probably a Top 5 metal band of all time, I really don't think anyone outside of Aria's fans would disagree that Maiden are better.

I prefer them because their music is beautiful and melodic.

That's perfectly fine, but you must understand you are in the very, very clear minority on the two.

If asked to name the top 5 Metal bands of all time, Maiden shows up on 90%.

Aria, if they were lucky, would show up on 0.001%.

Rostov on Don
On the edge of cliff over which is only eon
You're standing alone in power of strange dreams,
Want to be so careless taking leave of this world
And to play with fire of those dreams.

Finally you're happy unlike any other,
You've been blowing to the sky by angel dust,
The delight and wind are only in its power,
In the "liquid sky" your laughter sounds.

Angel dust for thee
Is a dream and reality!

You're mad runaway, there's no way out,
You're seeing unfaithful light,
Your angel has lit mirage of fire
To kill you – that's his desire!

On the edge of cliff there's sound of songs from heaven,
Music of the gods and voices of their queens,
You are soaring 'bove the world, but trader of the heaven
He will take your heart and soul for heroin.

Tired of being bird you fell down as a stone,
Fell down from the height escaping from the fate.
To the edge of cliff hundreds of moths are flying
To commit their suicide into the flame.

Angel dust for thee Is a dream and reality!

You're mad runaway, there's no way out,
You're seeing unfaithful light,
Your angel has lit mirage of fire
To kill you – that's his desire!
