LINER NOTES
The debut album by Leatherwitch, the new band from Poland's Marta Gabriel. After Crystal Viper — the Polish traditional metal band she led for twenty years and nine albums — came to an end, she took her own former stage name and made it the name of this project. In May 2025, when Crystal Viper's Japanese dates were already booked and their lead guitarist was injured, she played her first Japanese shows as a hastily arranged solo tour instead. Here she plays every part herself — vocals, guitar, bass and drums — with guest solos from Giuseppe Taormina, Crystal Viper's last guitarist, and from Ginoir, otherwise Tomohiro Hagi of Sabbat and Metalucifer. Bart Gabriel produced and mastered, Olof Wikstrand of Enforcer mixed, and Mario E. Lopez M. did the artwork. Listenable Records of France issued it internationally on 29 May 2026; Rubicon Music released the Japanese edition on 1 July 2026 as RBNCD-1470. Alongside covers of Helloween's "Walls of Jericho / Ride the Sky" and Manowar's "Black Wind, Fire and Steel", the Japanese edition adds early versions of "Beast Inside" and "Bound by the Night" for twelve tracks, with a sleeve note, translated lyrics and an interview with Marta Gabriel.
