Crystal Viper (POL)

Polish Heavy Metal act CRYSTAL VIPER will release new studio album, "The Silver Key", on June 28, 2024, on Listenable Records. It will be available as a vinyl record, compact disc, cassette, and digitally. As all the lyrics are once again inspired by the works of the father of cosmic horror, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the album is a natural continuation of the previous full length release, "The Cult", which came out on Listenable Records in 2021. In fact, working title of the new album was "The Cult II". However, "The Silver Key" is an album with very own identity and character, and is without a doubt the most intense release that CRYSTAL VIPER ever recorded. The new album is heavier, faster and darker, but at the same more epic and melodic than their previous works. In the past the band was very often balancing between Power Metal and Heavy Metal, but here, there's no doubt that we are talking about pure Heavy Metal. The band had very unique approach to songwriting and production, which was almost like a tribute to classic Metal acts such as IRON MAIDEN or JUDAS PRIEST, but except that CRYSTAL VIPER decided to show their love for the Metal culture, and incorporated in their songs several new elements, characteristic for other subgenres. So don't get fooled by the term "female-fronted" which is usually associated with softer genres: CRYSTAL VIPER, founded and led by the vocalist and bassist Marta Gabriel (who for the last few years played rhythm guitar for the band), is simply as that METAL, and very serious about it.

SAVAGE MASTER are one of the most exciting and electrifying bands in today’s occult heavy metal scene. During the first eight years of existence, SAVAGE MASTER swiftly built an impressive canon of work over the course of three cult albums, one EP, one single, and especially their over-the-top live shows. The band was founded in 2013 by guitarist Adam Neal and vocalist Stacey Savage, inspired by their love of heavy metal and horror. Speed metallers, occult rockers, thrashers, NWOBHM fanatics, everyone in between and especially beyond – all have been entranced by SAVAGE MASTER’s mysteries of steel!
