Crystal Viper

This Polish band, formed by vocalist Marta Gabriel (nicknamed "Leather Wych") and her husband/producer Bart, mixes 80's traditional metal with the more recent Euro power metal style, with Marta's pretty impressive higher-pitched vocals being one of the band's strong points. Sure, this isn't revolutionary by any stretch of the imagination, but it's more than competantly arranged and played, and surely another addition to the Euro metal fan's collection.

Recent album: The Silver Key, released on June 28, 2024.
