From the symphonic mastery of DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS to the almighty blackened glory of BEHEMOTH to the majestic power of CRYSTAL VIPER, Poland has proven itself to be a proficient exporter of influential Heavy Metal bands. In celebration of some of the band’s finest works, CRYSTAL VIPER has re-released “The Curse Of The Crystal Viper”, which was originally released in 2007, and has thrown in the mix a few fun bonus tracks as well as photos and all lyrics. It’s a more complete package than my childhood Easter gift baskets.

This album is a masterpiece that will be especially savoured by lovers of power metal, aka the most powerful of all metals. CRYSTAL VIPER’s ability to maintain the savage spirit of power metal while polishing the genre with their own intelligent musical style is apparent in songs like “Night Prowler” and“The Fury Undead”.The band honours their greatest predecessors in the metal world as well. The groovy intro that presents “Demon’s Dagger” follows in the footsteps of SABBATH, and “I Am Leather Witch” has a distinct IRON MAIDEN touch that would warm Bruce Dickinson’s heart.
