AL'VIRIUS (Yaroslavl). Group Al'virius in a present formation exists since summer of 2004. Till this time the group played neoclassic heavy/power metal. However presence of too different sights of musicians on the musical concept of group and its sounding of 2004 has led in the spring to that the group has left a part of musicians. Al'virius began to play a melodious thrash, using 2 keyboard players. For the first half a year the group was strongly weighted, keyboard parties have been shown to background, 2nd guitarist is taken. The group has completely departed from "power metal" notes, all more deeply leaving in thrash classics. The material of 2004-05 became a basis of the future first record of group. Having won back a year, Al'virius have made the decision on necessity of the further development in the technical plan. Changes in structure have again followed, and the group has got absolutely new sounding - more difficult arrangements, high-speed a rhythm section and symphonic keyboard parties. With such material the group has decided to start record of the first album(full version). Preliminary in January 2006 group has written down a demo “Into the Underworld” (9 tracks), and in March has started record of the album at Sergey Novikova's studio. As well as on a "demo", in an album there is a female vocal, however from a violin sounding on a "demo", at work on album Al'virius have refused in advantage guitar and keyboard parties. The album left in the spring of 2007 on friendly to many Yaroslavl groups label "Wroth Emitter prod.". At present music Al'virius - melodious and brutal, epic and extreme, with a kind share "deth-black metal" soundings thrash metal. It is a pure drive and absolute thrash charcoal fumes. The group constantly gives concerts across all Russia and other countries. In August 2008 in miniround the group has visited Ukraine and Belorusia (any more for the first time).
