Здесь куют металл (Metal Is Forged Here) (live) Remastered and re-released in 2007 by CD-Maximum Records with original cover without bonus track. Master (a.k.a. Мастер) was formed in April, 1987 by Andrei Bolshakov (guitars), Alexander "Alik" Granovsky (bass), Igor Molchanov (drums), and Kiril Pokrovsky (keyboards) from the band Aria. They left because they wanted to play heavier and faster than Aria's heavy-metal sound. Vocalist Alexander Arzamaskov from the band Fortress was found, bringing with him second guitarist Sergei Popov. Molchanov came up with the band name. After several concerts and a demo, Arzamaskov's vocals were shot, and a new singer was needed. Grigoriy Korneev was the vocalist for a few weeks, before permanent singer Mikhail Seryshev was found. The self-titled album was released in 1988, and concerts were held in the USSR and also in Poland. The second album, "With a Loop Around the Neck" was released in 1989. The band played at the USSR concert "Monsters of Rock", in Cherepovets later that year.
