2002 September 1, Kipelov, Terentyev, Mavrin and Maniakin launched the new band, entitled in name of Kipelov
(named at Terentyev's suggestion as the bandmembers couldn't come up
with any better name). In 2003 they released live album 'Put Naverh'
(Way to the Top), recorded in Saint Petersburg. It contained Aria's songs by Kipelov, Terentyev and Mavrin as well as
'Smutnoye Vremia' songs. Ballad 'Ya Svoboden' (I am Free) became the top
hit in Russian rock charts. The 'golden' voice of Kipelov enticed many
Aria fans to his new project. Terentyev, and later Mavrin left Kipelov
in next two years, explaining that the band was too slow in releasing
the new album. Since 2002 to 2005 the only new release was 'Babylon' EP.
To record his new album, Valery invited famous Victor Smolski. Kipelov's first (and to date, the only) LP 'Reki Vremen' (Rivers of Time) came out in 2005.
