Polish heavy metal band Crystal Viper issued seventh full-length studio album Tales Of Fire And Ice<\/em> on November 22nd, 2019 through AFM Records.<\/p>\n

Tales Of Fire And Ice<\/em> 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 \u2018Dream Warriors\u2019 (originally recorded for the 1987 movie A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors<\/em>), while the vinyl LP version included Crystal Viper\u2019s rendition of the I-Ten song \u2018Alone\u2019, mainly known as the power ballad recorded by Heart in 1987.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was once again created by Andreas Marschall.<\/p>\n

Vocalist Marta Gabriel commented: \u201cWe worked with Andreas Marschall for the third time, because as they say, you don\u2019t change the winning team. A lot of people asked us if the album is related to Game Of Thrones<\/em> – 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\u2019s one big piece.\u201d<\/p>\n
