Some obscure metal CDs sent to me...

What can anyone tell me about these albums/bands?

They are all bands I've never heard of.

Kipelov is the solo band of former Aria vocalist Valeri Kipelov. He was the singer of Aria (the Russian power metal band) from their debut album, Megalomania (1985) up to Chimera (2001).

Most of these bands don't sing in English, so I didn't expect many would know them, but hopefully someone will know something about them.

Sovy's the man for the eastern european stuff, he'll know.

Well, a bunch of obscure, mostly new heavy metal bands! Falanx and
Obstruction are from Hungary, so I have no idea what do they sing at
all . One of ex Falanx members now plays in Ossian, the legendary
band from Hungary. However, Hungarian or other east-European metal is
actually unknown here in Slovenia.



Lord Vader is an obscure Polish band ... M-A has more info about them:



The Polish heavy metal band Lord Vader was formed in 1980 under the
original monicker Fatum. In 1984 they changed their name to Lord Vader
and in 1985 they released a 7" single. They probably split up around
1987. In 2002 the German label Karthago Records released a full-length
album containing old material from the band.





Lord Vader re-activated around 2000 and began working on new material. Their entire collection from the past is unknown.



Rata Blanca is a band from Argentina that I'm familiar with because I
live in a village called "Blanca" I don't know how big are they
there, but they've been around for about 20 years.



Kipelov is, as Required mentioned, ex-Aria singer. Old Aria material is
essential for each heavy metal freak! Most of it was recently released
(bootleged) on CDs so it's widely available.



And I have never heard for Embodiment



Where did you get those?

Familiar with the names Rata Blanca and Lord Vader, but that's about it.

Lord Vader - Goliath

Embodiment - Legend

I'm familiar with those two band names. I can't say much about them though, sorry.

I know the website Sentinel Steel sells Aria's albums. They are originally on Moroz Records. As far as I can tell, these albums aren't bootlegs (they have barcodes), although you may be referring to another label bootlegging them.

did victor smolski play for Kipelov for a while....?

He is an Awesome guitarist.....

Joe Satriani and Steve Vai should get him on the G3 tour... but he'd probably give them a lesson... or 2

Yes, they're bootlegs, although they have bar codes.

Lord Vader's from Star Wars

yeah....the degree of obscureness is very very objective. how can a band like rata blanca(white mouse) be obscure from the moment that they usually play in crowds from 10000 to 30000. also 2 tribute cds where made for them and countless bootlegs(with covers etc)....giardino is great player....
