Black Viper is a new metal outfit hailing from Oslo in Norway. The band started out as a solo project in late 2012/early 2013 when drummer Cato began to write some songs inspired by traditional heavy metal and speed metal that did not suit his other band Deathhammer. He takes over the story: "I recorded a couple of instrumental demo tracks in 2013 and also began recording an EP which didn't get finished, probably because I was moving to Oslo. When I moved there, I finally got a band together and we started to rehearse and recorded and released our demo "Storming With Vengeance" in 2016. Then we played a few gigs and started to record our debut album "Hellions Of Fire" which is now finished and due for release very soon. We also lost our bassist in the process of recording the album, but we quickly found a new one and are now ready to 'kill with power'!" "The album is pretty much a mix between heavy metal and speed metal (fast heavy metal anyway)", continues the drummer. "If anything, then "Hellions Of Fire" sounds a bit like the first Savage Grace album."
