The ARDA band

[Strovar]

Hello to LOTRO Music Community! \m/

Our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSs...hraIKtaw7uyE5A

...And it came to pass that Ilúvatar called together all the Ainur and declared to them a mighty theme, unfolding to them things greater and more wonderful than he had yet revealed; and the glory of its beginning and the splendour of its end amazed the Ainur, so that they bowed before Ilúvatar and were silent. Then Ilúvatar said to them: ‘Of the theme that I have declared to you, I will now that ye make in harmony together a Great Music. And since I have kindled you with the Flame Imperishable, ye shall show forth your powers in adorning this theme, each with his own thoughts and devices, if he will. But I will sit and hearken, and be glad that through you great beauty has been wakened into song.’ Then the voices of the Ainur, like unto harps and lutes, and pipes and trumpets, and viols and organs, and like unto countless choirs singing with words, began to fashion the theme of Ilúvatar to a great music; and a sound arose of endless interchanging melodies woven in harmony that passed beyond hearing into the depths and into the heights, and the places of the dwelling of Ilúvatar were filled to overflowing, and the music and the echo of the music went out into the Void, and it was not void.
Never since have the Ainur made any music like to this music... And there was the ARDA!


Officially the Arda band was established on 7 August 2016 on the server Brandywine. Founded by members of Mista Tirme, Mirkwood Leaf, Rohirrims kinship's. Soon the musicians had taken the brave decision to take their own musical instruments and go to travel on the Landroval, where was found two new members of the group - from the Glaw En Naur Aduial kinship.

Our band prefer to play all kinds of rock-music, from Soviet and Russian bands to world-famous bands.

[Strovar]

Hello! After a small break The Arda band will perform on may 13th at the magnificent festival of The Forest of OAKS on Laurelin! Our performance will start at 3-30pm servertime! It will be powerful! \m/
Great thanks to the lady Acorne Oakley for the organization of this event and for this amazing announcement!

[Strovar]

What is "Remembrance of the Glorious Days"?

This is when the traveler is interested in various dungeons, recalls with a smile the countless levels of the Great Rift, that kept many difficulties and mysteries.

This is when the brave soldier tells of his great campaigns to the newcomers recruits, thereby instilling in them confidence and raising their spirit.

And for the musician's Remembrance of the Glorious Days — this is when he doesn't change an old lute or a flute on new only because that reminds him about the songs which were once played.

But here, surrounded by wonderful crowds and thunderous applause under the banner of festival The Forest of OAKS on may 13 at 3:30pm servertime "Arda" will improve a spirit of the audience, and will radically change them nostalgic rushes with their new repertoire!

[Strovar]

The long-awaited summer has come!
Someone associated this time with study and work, someone - with the holidays, but only one thing remains constant - it is a period of fun, joy and bright sun.
How about to celebrate this glorious time? Because very soon there will be a performance of Arda as part of the Summer music festival!

The performance promises to be extremely entertaining.
"Arda" will perform together with our friends from the great kinship "Wingilote".
Hurry to see and hear for the first time on one stage "Arda" and a new and very promising russian band "Eluilind"!
We play at 4pm servertime.

Come all, it will be summer-cheerful, carefree as a july night, a bright and so hot that even the solid earth is slightly lit!

\m/ Kipelov - I'm Here! \m/

~ So endless is the expanse of sea, ~

~ As is my solitude. ~

~ Here I can't escape myself ~

~ Nor hide in the sweet dreams. ~

~ This life has no new shores, ~

~ And the wind is tearing the remains of sails. ~



~ I lightly touched upon your dreams, ~

~ And that moment was not entirely benign. ~

~ Like sand was slipping through my fingers ~

~ That world that was open for only us two. ~


~ We walked towards each other, ~

~ Quickening our strides, ~

~ And passed right through without recognition. ~


~ I'm here! ~

~ In place of frozen light and stillness. ~

~ I'm here again! ~

~ I hear your name... ~

~ From countless years, ~

~ flies in a forgotten voice, ~

~ In order to fall from the night skies ~

~ Like cold fire. ~



~ I thought the time would erase all traces of you, ~

~ And didn't look at crowds in hopes to catch your gaze ~

~ In others' arms, ~

~ I sought the answer, ~

~ And didn't look for the way back. ~

~ Forgetting all, ~

~ I tried to live anew, ~

~ But saw how empty is the expanse of the sea. ~



~ I'm here! ~

~ In place of frozen light and stillness. ~

~ I'm here again! ~

~ I hear your name... ~

~ From countless years, ~

~ flies in a forgotten voice, ~

~ In order to fall from the night skies ~

~ Like cold fire. ~



\m/ Aria - Colosseum \m/


~ Gods has forsake the maddened Rome ~

~ The city of abandoned women and disabled ~

~ Breathing in poisoned smoke ~

~ Cutting veins with the blade ~


~ Holiday special event ~

~ People suffering in agony ~

~ The death is celebrating its victory ~

~ In the yellow circle of arena ~


~ Power give you the freedom ~

~ Win the fight ~

~ and you'll a star ~

~ And may be ~

~ You'll get the peace ~


~ Your foe in dust ~

~ pitiful and weak ~

~ Like a cornered beast

~ Wounded slave ~

~ Just a split second and will say "Kill him" ~

~ hand of the Emperor's ~


~ Do not argue ~

~ With a saint destiny ~

~ The crowd is excited ~

~ Feeling blood ~

~ Doesn't worth of sorrow ~

~ not women, not friends, ~

~ Gladiator's life is ~

~ Colosseum ~


~ Like stray dogs fighting for bone ~

~ Forsaken tearing each other apart ~

~ There is no excitement no anger in their eyes ~

~ Nothing but pain ~


~ You're the only one standing tall ~

~ God has saved you from the death ~

~ Look, Cesar has came down to arena ~

~ To gift you the freedom ~


~ Power give you the freedom ~

~ Win the fight ~

~ and you'll a star ~

~ And may be ~

~ You'll get the peace ~


~ Your foe in dust ~

~ pitiful and weak ~

~ Like a cornered beast ~

~ Wounded slave ~

~ Just a split second and will say "Kill him" ~

~ hand of the Emperor's


~ Do not argue ~

~ With a saint destiny ~

~ The crowd is excited ~

~ Feeling blood ~

~ Doesn't worth of sorrow ~

~ not women, not friends, ~

~ Gladiator's life is ~

~ Colosseum ~


~ Remember, ~

~ Do you remember,

~ You was proud, wise chieftain ~

~ Remember, ~

~ Do you remember ~

~ When solders raided your home ~

~ You greeted sunrise ~

~ Among burned reefs ~

~ Time has gone and finally ~

~ Has come the moment of revenge ~


~ The crowd's demanding the bloody show ~

~ Over the limit ~

~ Power gives your freedom ~

~ Take your chance! ~


~ Your foe in dust ~

~ pitiful and weak ~

~ Like a cornered beast ~

~ Wounded slave ~

~ And knocked the sparks out of gray stones ~

~ Sword of gladiator ~

~ Do not argue ~

~ With a saint destiny ~

~ The crowd is excited ~

~ Feeling blood ~

~ Doesn't worth of sorrow ~

~ not women, not friends, ~

~ Gladiator's life is ~

~ Colosseum ~

ARDA and Eluilind with great pride, love and respect to the original presents the tribute to the ARIA! \m/






We decided to dedicate this concert to the three remarkable dates: the 32 anniversary of “ARIA”, the 15th anniversary of the band “Kipelov” and the release of a new album of “Kipelov” – "Stars and Crests".

To your attention we present the classic, true, and real Aria, with the incomparable, soulful vocals of Valery Kipelov, in our treatment.

Let’s play some classic metal for the modern and “glamorous pink” world! \m/

We will go along with expensive listeners on a journey from 1985 to 2002-th year, in the period of so-called “gold” Aria, laid the foundations of the foundations of “Megalomania”, to melodic and monumental “Chimera”.

The concert will feature many hits of Aria, however, in this group a lot of them, because they have only good and great songs.

Venue – Laurelin, Bree festival grounds stage, date – 24th November, at 2pm servertime

“The hour” of heavy-metal has come! \m/

Take your black leather jackets, grab your friends rockers, “Give it a bash”! \m/

Today very soon, at 2pm servertime on Laurelin server will begin a concert of the "Arda" and "Eluilind" dedicated to the legends of Russian rock - first Soviet heavy metal band ARIA!


Come to listen a very good classical heavy-metal!

Bring black jackets, ales, and your friends, it will be powerful! \m/

[Strovar]

It was very powerful!

Finally, we paid tribute to this legendary band that laid the foundations of classic heavy metal in Russia and the Soviet Union!
Was done hard work over the music to try to convey at least a fraction of all the power of the magical voice of Kipelov and seductive music of "ARIA"!

Thank you to all the listeners that were able to come. Together we ROCK! \m/


A big thank you to the nice guys of Eluilind that managed to play together with Arda and otherwise assisted in preparation for the concert, guys - you are super!
Thank you to the lovely elf Mitraliel, it was her debut performance, you did great!
Special thanks for the beautiful singing of lady Taratinde!

The preparation process was very long, ARIA have many hits, so impossible in one concert to play all hits of ARIA, so be sure to be presented the second part, and judging by the fact that yesterday people want to hear Kipelov, then we will please the audience with a tribute to the band "KIPELOV"!)

May the metal be with you!
