Alisa ((ロシア語:Алиса)〔Russian analogue to the female name Alice〕) is a Russian hard rock band, who are credited as one of the most influential bands in the Russian rock movement. ==Biography== Alisa was formed in November 1983 by bassist Svyatoslav Zadery. The band's name originated from Zadery nickname. The band's lineup was finally completed in 1984, when new vocalist Kostya Kinchev (real name Konstantin Panfilov) and guitarist Petr Samoylov joined. Their debut album ''Energia'' was released by state publishing monopoly Melodiya and sold more than a million copies. But the relations between two leaders, Konstantin and Zadery, were deteriorating, and finally Svyatoslav departed from the band. This occurred just one hour before Alisa was to perform at a concert. Alisa had to ask Kino bassist Igor Tihomirov to replace him for one concert. Later Zadery created his own band Nateh! ((ロシア語:НАТЕ!) - "Take that!"). Zadery died on 6 May 2011 due to complications from a stroke at the age of 50. The growing popularity of the band created a fan community called the Army of Alisa, known for their rough behaviour at concerts. It led to animosity between the band and Soviet officials. In 1987, the newspaper ''Smena'' accused Alisa's leader Kinchev of Nazi propaganda and worshiping Hitler. Kinchev filed a suit for calumny and moral loss compensation. After the year-long court process the magazine published the refutation. Alisa's next album was titled ''Article 206 part 2'', a chapter ("Hooliganism") of the USSR Procedural Code, alluding to this process. There were more changes in 1988, when guitarist Igor "Chuma" Chumychkin joined the band. This change was followed by the heavier sound of next two albums, ''Shabash'' and ''For those Who Fell From the Moon''. Alisa toured through Europe and Israel together with fellow Russian heavy metal band Aria. The album ''Black Mark'', released in 1994, was dedicated to the memory of Chuma, who committed suicide by jumping from a window. In the new millennium, with albums such as ''Seychas Pozdnee Chem Ty Dumaesh'' (It is Later Than You Think, 2003) and ''Izgoy'' (Exile, 2005), the sound of Alisa was changed to a heavier one, including elements of nu, industrial and Heavy Metal. Music critics credited Clawfinger as Kinchev's greatest new music influence. This gave Alisa a new fan base among Russian hard rock fans, and three songs from ''Izgoy'' continually reached the top of the NASHE radio chart. Follow-up "Stat Severa" and "Puls Hranitelia Dverey Labyrintha" were less alternative-oriented and made a blend of older and newer styles. Alisa shot a video for the Wolfhound fantasy movie, though the song itself was cut from the soundtrack. According to public polls, Alisa enjoys high popularity in Russia and around, ranking among top ten most popular russian rock bands,〔(Ромир: Цифры и факты )〕 and ranked 1st in Komsomolskaya Pravda readers poll.〔(Группы, которые изменили наш мир ) — Комсомольская правда〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alisa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
