Our Take

Album Review: VIRGIN STEELE - Virgin Steele

Ah, Virgin Steele, a band with a name as bold as their music. This self-titled album is a wild ride from start to finish, like a rollercoaster of hard-hitting riffs and soaring vocals. But does it hit the mark or veer off course?

From the opening track "Children of the Storm," you're instantly thrown into a whirlwind of energy. David DeFeis's vocals are haunting and powerful, cutting through the heavy instrumentation like a knife through butter. But just when you think you've got them pegged as your typical heavy metal band, they throw in unexpected twists and turns that keep you on your toes.

Tracks like "Gate of Kings" and "Seven Dead Within" showcase the band's versatility, blending elements of prog-rock and power metal with a touch of classical influence. It's a strange concoction, but somehow it works, creating a sound that is uniquely Virgin Steele.

However, not every track hits the mark. "Blaze of Victory" feels a bit too repetitive, while "Through Blood and Fire" struggles to find its footing. But these missteps are easily forgiven when you consider the sheer ambition and creativity on display throughout the rest of the album.

In conclusion, Virgin Steele's self-titled album is a wild, unpredictable, and ultimately rewarding experience. Strap in, hold on tight, and let yourself be swept away by the madness.

About the artist

Virgin Steele

Virgin Steele, the American heavy metal band led by the charismatic and enigmatic David DeFeis, has been serving up their unique blend of epic power metal since the early 1980s. With their larger-than-life stage presence and theatrical performances, Virgin Steele has carved out a niche in the metal world that is all their own. DeFeis, with his soaring vocals and captivating songwriting, is a force to be reckoned with. His lyrics touch on themes of mythology, history, and personal introspection, all delivered with a passion and intensity that is unmatched in the metal scene. Musically, Virgin Steele draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, from classical music to 70s rock to traditional metal. Their sound is bombastic and over-the-top, with epic guitar solos, thunderous drums, and DeFeis's operatic vocals leading the charge. Their discography is vast and varied, with standout albums like "Noble Savage," "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," and "The House of Atreus" showcasing their range and creativity. With each release, Virgin Steele pushes the boundaries of metal music, creating a sound that is at once familiar and entirely new. Whether you're a die-hard metal fan or a casual listener looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, Virgin Steele is a band that demands your attention. With their epic soundscapes, larger-than-life performances, and fearless approach to music, Virgin Steele is a band that is truly in a league of their own. And in a world filled with cookie-cutter bands and predictable soundscapes, that's something to be celebrated.
