After returning from several festivals including Battlefield Metal Fest in Spain, Up The Hammers in Greece, and MANOWAR's Magic Circle Festival in Germany, and before starting pre-production of the forthcoming, third full length studio album, Polish female fronted heavy metal squad CRYSTAL VIPER, entered the Polish MP Studio to record the 'Stronghold: Under Siege' song for the most awaited board game of the year: Stronghold. Song has been recorded with Mariusz Pietka behind the recording/mixing console, and with Bart Gabriel as the producer. The 'Stronghold' single will be released on October 8th as the digital download and CD single, which will be added to the European edition of the Stronghold game. The band is also working on the official video clip for the song, which will feature XIII and XV century knight brotherhoods.

Stronghold is the classic rpg/board game, and will be released in 4 versions: Polish (Portal), German (Phalanx Games), French (Iello) and English (distribution in UKL and Europe: Esdevium Games).
