CRYSTAL VIPER – to release their album “The Cult” via Listenable Records on February 12, 2021 #crystalviper
If you are serious about heavy metal, then CRYSTAL VIPER needs no introduction. The band was founded by the singer/ guitarist Marta Gabriel and released their debut album in 2007. Since then, the band toured in more than 15 countries, played in tiny clubs and open-air festivals, and released 6 more studio albums.
Their new studio album entitled “The Cult” marks a new era. It’s their first album for Listenable Records and also, the first album featuring new drummer, Cederick Forsberg. New album “The Cult” brings CRYSTAL VIPER back to their roots” of pure traditional Heavy Metal!
Marta Gabriel says “I think the title track, is one of the most representative ones when it comes to our new album. It has this gloomy atmosphere, easy-to-remember vocal line, and very classic sounding guitar riffs and harmonies, which dominated the new album. MAIDEN, PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH, MERCYFUL FATE and DIAMOND HEAD – it’s where it’s all coming from, this is the core and the roots of CRYSTAL VIPER, the classic heavy metal. I’m very excited to share it with the world!”
New album “The Cult” is full of epic melodies, great riffs, guitar harmonies, and ripping solos. The lyrics were inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Finally, the choice of cover songs recorded are included as bonus tracks will satisfy all the Metal purists. The CD/DIGITAL version of the album includes KING DIAMOND cover “Welcome Home” (recorded with very special guest, KING DIAMOND’s guitarist Andy La Rocque) – while the vinyl LP version, includes a cover of the NWOBHM heroes SATAN, entitled “Trial By Fire”.
