Crystal Viper

Located in Katowice, Poland, hard-hitting, female-fronted rock unit Crystal Viper pull from first-wave NWOBHM rings and savage sword-and-sorcery steel outfits like Manowar and Cirith Ungol. Founded in 2003 by guitarist/vocalist Marta Gabriel and offering the abilities of guitarist Andy Influx, bassist Michal Badocha, and drummer Tomasz “Golem” Dańczak, the music group released its debut record, The Curse from the Crystal Viper, in 2007 via German label Karthago Information. Arriving in ’09 2009, the star-studded Steel Nation featured visitor spots from Trend guitarist Mannie Schmidt, Surprise Warrior vocalist/guitarist Lars Ramcke, and X-Wild vocalist Frank Knight. This year 2010, the music group transferred to AFM Information and released the concert record Defenders from the Magic: Reside in Germany and a brand-new studio room LP, Legends. Released in 2012, Crimen Excepta included efforts from Hell frontman David Bower and Vader mastermind Peter Wiwczarek, and in 2013 Crystal Viper released their initial concept album, Ownership. They adopted an identical narrative build on 2017’s Queen from the Witches, including an properly fiery cover of Grim Reaper’s “Find You in Hell.”
