Woo power metal with a lefthanded guitarist! And a lady bassist who’s also the singer! Crystal Viper’s been shredding out of Poland since 2003, and recently released “The Silver Key.” So we get some more vidyas of shreddy awesome metal!

The video is “Band plays in a foggy old building” style, which works well for how shreddy they are. Marta Gabriel doing the big bass lift on the intro is pretty great, especially given she’s got great pipes. I don’t want to make a Crucial Taunt comparison, but if Wayne’s World got a reboot, this would be the band in it.

The guitar solos are shreddy and fun and on a lefty flying V. I don’t see too many lefty guitarists, so when they show up I gotta give them props, and this guy shreds 110%. Also there’s some synchronized guitaring! Which works well with a lefty/righty combo. They can snarl at each other, metallicly.

In conclusion, Fever of the Gods fuckin shreds and I’m excited to hear more of their music!
