\"\"Crystal Viper’s latest studio album, Queen of The Witches<\/em>, was just recently released, but the Polish band came back with a fantastic EP titled, At The Edge Of Time<\/em>. Released June 29 via AFM records and available in multiple formats, including digital download, streaming, and 10-inch vinyl. The EP includes five new recordings from the Heavy Metal band.<\/p>\n

As it is a short 20 minute EP, the songs come together in a way that makes perfect sense. The album kicks off to a fantastic start with the title track, \u201cAt The Edge of Time.\u201d It’s a fast-paced Metal track with the sweetly melodic voice of Marta Gabriel floating on the track in a mesmerizing way. <\/p>\n

The lead into \u201cWhen The Sun Goes Down\u201d is a well thought out version as well. A version of \u201cWhen The Sun Goes Down\u201d was on the previous album, but this new iteration is called the ‘Giallo Version.’ This version features a church organ that makes the listener pay close attention before the heavy guitars kick into gear. It’s Polish language twin, \u201cZwiastun Burzy,\u201d while the same song the feel of it is different in another language. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Are You\u201d is a Metal ballad with Marta Gabriel’s voice floating over the piano gently. It’s enough to tug at any listener’s heartstrings. The final track on the EP is a cover of Quartz\u2019 \u201cTell Me Why.\u201d This melodic heavy hitter slides easily around the genre with heavy guitar leads landing firmly in the more rock side of things. If you are a fan of the more classic Heavy Metal genre, this EP comes highly recommended. <\/p>\n
