- New (6th) studio album by Poland’s leading traditional heavy metal band CRYSTAL VIPER! The band returns in impressive fashion, following a nearly 4-year break due to health issues of vocalist/guitarist Marta Gabriel. Old school metal – recorded the (costly and time-consuming) old school way – like back in the 80’s! CRYSTAL VIPER gave lots of attention to details in this new production and used a variety of different amps, guitars and other equipment. “Queen Of The Witches” might very well be their best and most determined work to date. Cover artwork by legendary artist Andreas Marschall (Running Wild, Kreator, Blind Guardian, Orden Ogan [!]
