Kipelov (Кипелов) is a Russian heavy metal band formed and led by former Aria vocalist Valery Kipelov.
In 2002, dissension in the heavy metal band Aria led to Aria members Valery Kipelov (vocals), Sergey Terentyev (guitar), and Alexander Maniakin (drums) leaving the band and joining with former Aria member Sergey Mavrin and bassist Alexey Harkov of Mavrik to form Kipelov. The band was named to make use of the fame of its best-known member, singer Valery Kipelov. Since Kipelov was, essentially, just a revision of Aria, they were able to begin performing immediately.
In the fall of 2002 Kipelov toured over Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, including a sold-out concert in Moscow at the end of November at the legendary Gorbunov Palace of Culture.
In May 2003, after a brief hiatus from touring, the group performed a concert in the open-air Voel Amphitheatre in Tel Aviv, Israel. On May 24, 2003, as part of a cultural program dedicated to the 300th anniversary of Saint Petersburg, the band performed a concert in Saint Petersburg Stadium. Video and audio versions of this concert were released.

Nado mnoyu tishina
Nebo polnoe dozhdya
Dozhd' prokhodit skvoz' menya
No boli bol'she net
Pod kholodnyy shepot zvezd
My sozhgli posledniy most
I vse v bezdnu sorvalos'
Svobodnym stanu ya
Ot zla i ot dobra
Moya dusha byla na lezvii nozha
Ya by mog s toboyu byt'
Ya by mog pro vse zabyt'
Ya by mog tebya lyubit'
No eto lish' igra
V shume vetra za spinoy
Ya zabudu golos tvoy
I o toy lyubvi zemnoy
Chto nas szhigala v prakh
I ya skhodil s uma
V moey dushe net bol'she mesta dlya tebya
Ya svoboden
Slovno ptitsa v nebesakh
Ya svoboden
Ya zabyl chto znachit strakh
Ya svoboden
S dikim vetrom naravne
Ya svoboden
Nayavu a ne vo sne
Nado mnoyu tishina
Nebo polnoe ognya
Svet prokhodit skvoz' menya
I ya svoboden vnov'
Ya svoboden ot lyubvi
Ot vrazhdy i ot molvy
Ot predskazannoy sud'by
I ot zemnykh okov
Ot zla i ot dobra
V moey dushe net bol'she mesta dlya tebya
Ya svoboden
Slovno ptitsa v nebesakh
Ya svoboden
Ya zabyl chto znachit strakh
Ya svoboden
S dikim vetrom naravne
Ya svoboden
