Crystal Viper

Formed in 2003 by Marta Gabriel and her husband. The band, after recording several demos and making a few appearances on tributes, signed their first contract with the label Karthago Records for their first album The Curse of Crystal Viper, recorded in 2007. Crystal Viper then recorded a demo with David DeFeis and Josh Block of Virgin Steele, but which quickly became unavailable. In 2009, after touring at numerous festivals, they decided to lay down Metal Nation, mixed by King Diamond's guitarist, with guests Manni Schmidt of Grave Digger, Frank Knight and Lars Ramcke.
