Album Description

User Album Review
While I will forever love the NWOBHM vibe of Crystal Viper’s debut album ‘The Curse Of Crystal Viper’, I also think the band sorely needed a change of pace, as they got stuck in a rut somewhat lately. ‘Tales Of Fire And Ice’ is the change the Polish band needed. Whether or not it is a change for the better depends on your taste, but for what it’s worth, I think it’s the finest Crystal Viper album since the debut. This time, the band dares to take their heavy/power metal roots in a slightly different direction. The results are quite refreshing.
In the metal scene, maturing musically is often feared or frowned upon. ‘Tales Of Fire And Ice’ is not an album for people who look at music that way, but the songwriting on the album is better than on any Crystal Viper record since the debut and Marta Gabriel sounds more varied than she ever has. The sophistication and subtlety of the songwriting will likely contribute to the longevity of the record, though it is too early to say for sure. Whether ‘Tales Of Fire And Ice’ is the start of a new chapter for Crystal Viper or a one-off experiment also remains to be seen, but it’s good. And in the end, that’s what counts.
