Marta Gabriel is a musician from Poland
Music career
[edit]Marta Gabriel began her career doing vocals for the band 448.[1] She started the band Crystal Viper in 2003. Their debut album, The Curse of Crystal Viper, was released in 2007. Since then they have released nine studio albums, one live album, many singles, and took part in several tribute albums. The band also toured across more than ten countries.[2]
In addition, she released a cover album in 2021, "Metal Queens", with songs from 1980s female artists of heavy metal bands.[3]
Business
[edit]Marta Gabriel also started a clothing company, Thunderball Clothing. The bands Wizard, Sabaton and Vader were among its clients.[2]
They got in a controversy in December 2018. The photographer J. Salmeron took a photo of Alissa White-Gluz, singer of Arch Enemy, and uploaded it to his Instagram account. White-Gluz did the same, and Thunderball Clothing did it as well because White-Gluz was wearing their products in the shot. Salmeron did not like that his photo was being used for advertising of a company without authorization, and told them that although his usual fee was €500, he would not enforce it if they made a donation of €100 to the Dutch Cancer Society. Gabriel deleted the image and informed White-Gluz of the situation, who got hostile towards Salmeron. Most Instagram followers supported Salmeron, White-Gluz wrote defensive statements, and Gabriel wrote apologetic ones.[4] Overwhelmed by internet trolls, Gabriel closed Thunderball Clothing the following day.[5]
