The Viper Strikes Again
I had never heard of Crystal Viper until I previewed their upcoming album The Cult. It was hard for me to believe this band has been around for 15 years and I was just learning about them now. The Cult is the follow-up to 2019’s Tales of Fire and Ice and gets its official release on February 12, 2021 through Listenable Records. I had to find out more about Crystal Viper. I went right to guitarist/vocalist Marta Gabriel and she answered everything I wanted to know.
Highlights include:
Discussion of The Cult- How H.P. Lovecraft inspired her lyrics
- How King Diamond’s Andy LaRocque made it on the album
- Why Crystal Viper is now on Listenable Records
- Marta’s appreciation for vinyl and her first musical crush
- Gabriel’s best and worst gigs
- Did the band once stay at a hotel that used to be an asylum?
- …and much, much more!
Crystal Viper is:
Marta Gabriel – Vocals, Guitar
Andy Wave – Guitar
Eric Juris – Guitar
Blaze Grygiel – Bass
Cederick Forsberg – Drums
