Polish female fronted Heavy Metal act Crystal Viper announce the release of a new live album entitled “The Live Quest”.
It was recorded during last year’s “The Silver Key Tour” at live shows in Poland, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, Belgium and Czech Republic.
“The Live Quest”, which will come out Friday June 27th, 2025, on Listenable Records and will be available on Vinyl, CD and Digitally.
Cover artwork was painted by Mario Lopez, who is also responsible for the last two Crystal Viper studio albums artworks : “The Cult” and “The Silver Key”.
Crystal Viper is a band formed and led by Marta Gabriel – vocalist, bassist and guitarist. Their last studio album “The Silver Key” came out in 2024 on Listenable Records, and was promoted on full European Tour and Summer festivals such as Wacken Open Air or Hellfest. While due to Marta’s presence, the band is very often compared to such female fronted acts as Warlock, their style is a mixture of Heavy and Power Metal, inspired by bands such as Iron Maiden or Judas Priest.
“The Silver Key” was 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” (Listenable records – 2021).
It is without a doubt the most intense release that Crystal Viper ever recorded and the album received a roaring response from the press worldwide and featured Bathory and Misfits covers as bonus tracks.
“The Live Quest” first single “The Cult” (live) will be released on Wednesday May 7.
