Amazing female fronted heavy metal from Poland, a must listen to for every heavy metal fan.
Recently formed in 2003 the band has 2 full length albums out now.

Take a listen and post your thoughts, they're not too well known yet, but they're fucking killer.

I really like the song "The Anvil Of Hate" a lot. If the band takes this direction with sound and writing on the upcoming full length, I'll be all over it!

Awesome band, hail to Poland, Hail to Silezia, Hail to Katowice , hail to Marta Gabriel
Realy good band , one of best after 2000 remains me like Broken Dagger, but whit female vocals, I love album, its realy good each song is good, lyrics are epic, and awesome, like epic fantasy storties, ,y fav song are ''Blood N Gasoline'' Virgine Steele cover , realy good band, I hope we will hear more about this band, I realy hope they will realise new album soon, and this is one of those real bands who is not emo, alternative or other crap, who sells whit out huge media help

Yeah they're pretty amazing. They haven't lost their touch at all with their second album.
I'm looking forward to upcoming albums by them. I wish they would tour around NA as well

Yes it sounds good, I already hear those songs weeks ago and its , I dont know who's be BEST HM album in 2009 Grave Digger or CV

For the first hear Crystal Viper sounded excellent to me, but it overplayed soon...

What did you mean

That now when i am listening to them, i just think "hm...average..."

I don't think they're average in ANY way.
They sound so different compared to other heavy metal acts like maiden or priest.

I agree even I prefere Maiden better somehow I like it better, but CV remaidns me lil bit Broken Dagger maybe lil weeker and also female vocals, but CV and Broken Dagger there hard find simmilar bands

I got "Metal Nation" a few days ago. This thing really makes me happy.
Great voice, catchy refrains, enough variety to keep me interested.

Overall very good work and a nice way to start into a new day, as the positive attitude of the CD is tangible. To me at least. :-)

I would totally appreciate to see this band live.

I can't confirm this piece of information. They are neither listed on the festival's flyer, nor does the band website feature that tour date.

Most probably they were on the line up for the festival in Poland and got withdrawn for whatever reason. Somebody mentioned their name in connection with the fest somewhere else, too.

With regard to your link, the "Keep It True 2010" is already close to being sold out and aside from Crystal Viper I'm not interested in a single other band from the line up. So I guess I'll have to wait for another chance. I'll travel far, if necessary, but only if the event is at least halfway attractive to me. That rules out Magic Circle in a week, too. :-)

Man CV is band who touring 3-5 shows in year and one on POland, , also Germany, Greece , Spain somewhere like this 4-5 shows per year

I hope they come to Canada, or somewhere close in the states.

Do want to see them live really bad, I can only imagine the atmosphere

Why did you delete my post? It is forum to discuss or what? Noone can say that the band sucks?

Staff did your post was spam, if band sucks explain it why in 10-100 sentences then you can , otherwise it was spam

If i say "Crystal Viper is great. I love them!" everything will be ok, right?

Well yes but also you shood say why you like a band, but negative short post counts more spam how possitive

Ouch, just listened to Crystal Viper and my god are they bad. Generic Euro Flower Power metal at its worst. No wonder this gets to play at Magic Circle, they are as horrendous as Holy Hell. IMO only suitable for people who like generic Euro Flower Metal.

I really don't understand how people cn still listen to this sort of stuff when t's been done to death by almost every single power metal around.

Be doomed by all this doom metal stuff you are listening to and let us, dull flower metal lowers, listen to what we like

Totally agreed. All you need to be signed on MCM is to be over-the-top cheesy.

Powermetal is hopeless nowadays. It spawned all the good it had a long time ago. Now, it sucks balls and only overcrowd the market with garbage that is barely metal most of the time. Honestly, I think it would be time for this genre to die.

And i think thrash metal should die, because i dont like it and i think it never was good music...does it mean something

Not really. The problem with Powermetal is it gets worse and worse all the time. I've never seen a genre take such a neverending downward spiral. There's not the slightest hint of hope for some kind of reborn in this genre's case. It only gets more simple, basic, unoriginal, commercial and gay as time goes by.
