This one's new to me. Please do upload!
I just had to put on the godly ALEXANDR NIEVSKI 7" now. I'm surprised there's not more Doom-fans/collectors going apeshit over this obscurity. File under Great Bands Which Debut EP Slayed The LPs (the band being Novy Savet/New Testament)
Next up: PRINCIP - cheers for the reminder, Mr. Axe.

Better than the two first Novy Zavet LPs?? Got to get this one! How much do you think I should expect to pay for one? Saw it somewhere for ~30eur, uhhh..
Never heard it. It's listed at Metalrus mp3-section, but the files have been removed or something...
Grand Canyon is standard rock with maybe 1 song leaning towards HR, but GIBEL BOGOV is great. All 4 songs are quite diverse but I like them all - even the ballad, which is one of the best I've heard. Soundwise they're kinda hard do describe but they have a distinct Rrrrrussian HR/Metal sound, especially "Cobra".
And yes, I think the I.N. 7" tops the N.Z. lps. Try again at metalrus - sometimes their mp3 server is down.
@jnfernal: Thanx a lot for MOST. Feedback to come...
Ha, thanx for liking MOST! They're not exactly HM but good, solid hard rock, very elegant and well done compared to similar products made in Russia at the time.
Of course there's the Vinyl edition. It's on Melodyia, the Stale Labeled Company, of course, and the CD is an exact reproduction of the LP edition. But I can't tell you wheter is easy to find or not, the original LP

Seems this is an LP by Igor Romanov. The title maybe "Uchitel' Uspeha" (the stuff on upper part of the cover), I cant read the shit under the big comic font Romanov, is that even kyrillic? This might be the title as well

Those songs are the only ones in that album?, the first one is good, but the second one is AMAZING!!!, do you have more stuff of Krizis???
Those "Signalnoy Serii Plastinok" compilations are quite mysterious. I only own one volume myself, #8 featuring OBLACNYI KRAJ: http://lawless2005.narod.ru/images_1/App0624.jpg (Just 2 songs from the LP..)
There should be at least 8 volumes made, with 4 bands on every volume. Some recordings later turned up on LPs, some didn't, so those "album sleeves" on the cover can sometimes prove decieving. For instance I don't think KRISIS ever got released, and neither did the 2 PAUTINA songs on volume 4: http://www.metalrus.ru/page-al-interview_pautina_2.html
If anyone knows of more volumes featuring Metal/Hard Rock I'd REALLY like to know about them.
