Velvet Viper mit Jutta Weinhold (ex Zed Yago) + Support: Spy # Row
Velvet Viper represents energetic, heavy, and atmospheric Heavy Rock with charismatic and melodic vocals. The band was founded by Jutta Weinhold in 1990, after her highly successful formation Zed Yago had broken up. After two albums ("Velvet Viper" 1990 and "Fourth Quest for Fantasy" 1992), the band was inactive for a long time.
In 2015, guitarist Holger Marx began working on the comeback album "Respice Finem" (released in 2018 via GMR Music), which received positive reactions from numerous metal magazines and outlets. The band successfully returned to the stage and in 2019, performed at festivals such as Headbanger’s Open Air and Wacken Open Air, where they were very well received.
In 2019, the band released their second album of the new era titled "The Pale Man is holding a broken Heart" under Massacre Records. The tour activities for this album were interrupted by the Corona pandemic, allowing the band to invest time in an album that was released in 2021 under the title "Cosmic Healer" also via Massacre Records. This production was also warmly received in the scene. The songwriting team of Jutta Weinhold / Holger Marx refined their style after numerous concerts and revisited the sound of the first Velvet Viper album from 1990 with several uptempo tracks. The band recorded and produced "Cosmic Healer" together in the studio. The mixing was done by Ralf Basten, who had already refined the sound of Zed Yago's legendary debut album. The result is 10 stirring epic metal anthems that can summon the classic metal atmosphere on any concert stage.
Our current album NOTHING COMPARES TO METAL was released on July 21, 2023. Jutta and Holger composed together as they did for the other four Velvet Viper albums. It is a continuation of songs with lyrics in the classical, poetic realm. We value creating music that aligns with our mindset, as the musical world also needs originals and not copies. For the first time, we conclude the CD with a German text, a small personal statement from Jutta. Unlike the previous album, the songs are all over 5, 6, 7 minutes long. We have strived to make the song structures audible, with various parts that do justice to the drama.
