Polish female-fronted traditional heavy metal act CRYSTAL VIPER will release its new album, "Crimen Excepa", in Europe on April 27. The concept effort about holy inquisition, black magic and witches, where fiction is mixed with historical facts, was produced by Bart Gabriel (SACRED STEEL, JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR). The new song "Medicus Animarum" is available for free download now for short time.
Marta Gabriel of CRYSTAL VIPER will be special guest of the KEEP IT TRUE FESTIVAL (27 & 28.04.2012, Lauda-Konigshofen, Germany) - she will be signing the new album & free CRYSTAL VIPER posters at the GABRIEL MANAGEMENT/SKOL RECORDS booth.
"Crimen Excepta" will feature two special guests: David Bower, vocalist of HELL will appear in the title track, while VADER mainman Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek will be heard in the cover version of the classic VADER song "Tyrani Piekiel", which will be available as the bonus track on the first, limited edition of the album. The effort's cover artwork was painted by the French artist Chris Moyen, who has previously worked with SLAYER, TRIVIUM, BEHERIT and BLASPHEMY.
