CRYSTAL VIPER – Releases Lyric Video For KING DIAMOND Cover “Welcome Home”, Feat. Andy La Rocque
Polish female fronted Heavy Metal act CRYSTAL VIPER published a lyric video for KING DIAMOND cover “Welcome Home”. The song was recorded with a special guest, guitarist of the KING DIAMOND band, Andy La Rocque, and was released as a bonus track on the latest CRYSTAL VIPER studio album “The Cult”.
THE VIDEO CAN BE SEEN HERE and below:
“I love KING DIAMOND, his songwriting had and still has a huge impact on me. He’s an amazing vocalist and performer. We’re also friends with Andy La Rocque, who actually co-produced one of our earlier albums” says CRYSTAL VIPER front woman, Marta Gabriel. “When we decided to record this cover, we thought it would be cool to invite him to join us, and he agreed, that’s a huge, huge honor! We received an amazing feedback, lot of fans seems to really like our version, so although it came out a few months ago, we decided to revisit it, and do this lyric video” she adds.
CRYSTAL VIPER recently also announced release of a special new “long-mini-album” entitled “The Last Axeman” (with a playing time of almost 40 minutes), which will come out on March 25, on Listenable Records. It will include 8 songs, out of which 7 will be exclusive and available on this release only.

Marta looks rather scary but she can sing and the band behind her can play. Full marks.

I love Crystal Viper… all their albums are fabulous! I honestly like Marta as much as Doro! 😃🤘🏻

I remember what a big Doro fan you are so that’s big! I will be exploring Crystal Viper more.

LOL!! Yup, I love DORO!! Marta is the real deal! She plays guitar and writes her songs, lyrics too. Marta released this past autumn a solo album titled: ‘Metal Queens’ – she covers great songs from female vocalists of Metal’s past… one being DORO. 🤘🏻😃
