This just went up: the third and final part of my interview with Crystal Viper singer and guitarist Marta Gabriel. This time, we discussed covering King Diamond and her vocal approaches in general, as well as how important collaborating with other musicians is to her. Including the guitar solo of King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque on Crystal Viper’s cover of ‘Welcome Home’.

After this final part of the interview, all that is left for me to do is to thank Marta for her enthusiasm, as well as her husband Bart and Listenable Records for setting up the interview. Any motivational issues I may have in music journalism vanish instantly when talking with musicians this delightfully enthusiastic and I cannot be thankful enough for that.

Once again, I will leave you with a reminder that Crystal Viper’s excellent new album ‘The Cult‘ is available now at the official Crystal Viper store, as well as the better online and physical retailers and quite likely your preferred streaming platform.
