Polish heavy metal band Crystal Viper issued seventh full-length studio album Tales Of Fire And Ice on November 22nd, 2019 through AFM Records.
Tales Of Fire And Ice was made available as a limited edition 12-inch vinyl LP, CD and digital album. The CD and digital version of the album included a bonus track in the shape of a Dokken cover ‘Dream Warriors’ (originally recorded for the 1987 movie A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors), while the vinyl LP version included Crystal Viper’s rendition of the I-Ten song ‘Alone’, mainly known as the power ballad recorded by Heart in 1987.
Cover artwork was once again created by Andreas Marschall.
Vocalist Marta Gabriel commented: “We worked with Andreas Marschall for the third time, because as they say, you don’t change the winning team. A lot of people asked us if the album is related to Game Of Thrones – it is not. The title of the album refers to titles of new songs, and titles of new songs are being represented on the artwork. It’s one big piece.”
