Кипелов is a significant name in the Russian heavy metal scene, fronted by the charismatic vocalist Valery Kipelov. Founded after Kipelov left the pioneering heavy metal band Ария in 2002, Кипелов embarked on a mission to continue the legacy of powerful, melodious metal infused with a distinctly Russian sensibility. The band's music is characterized by dramatic vocals, heavy riffing, and poignant lyrics often inspired by Russian history, mythology, and personal introspection.

Since their inception, Кипелов has managed to establish a robust following, delivering a series of studio albums and live recordings that showcase their mastery of the genre. Notable releases include the intense "Весы судьбы" and "Часы Судного дня" which cement their reputation for creating music with a profound narrative and complex compositions. Their live performances, as captured in albums like "20 лет. Бонусы (Live)" and "Кипелов (feat. Симфонический оркестр) [Live в Crocus City Hall, Москва, 13/03/2020]", are grand displays of musicianship and showmanship, often accompanied by the soaring accompaniments of a full symphonic orchestra—further evidence of their standing as stalwarts in their genre. With a career spanning over two decades, Кипелов continues to reign as one of the pillars of Russian metal, captivating audiences with their epic compositions and electrifying live shows.
