VELVET VIPER’s new album “Cosmic Healer” presents the band as you know them from their energetic live shows; this time with more compact songs, often hovering in the upper tempo range. The basics of the 10 tracks were recorded with a lot of live feeling in the well-ventilated Jangland Studio by the well-established and well-rehearsed band mates. Lots of drive, lots of groove, catchy choruses and a classic, fresh and authentic band sound with a high-spirited Jutta Weinhold make this third album since the band’s reunion the strongest album of the band to date.
