Virgin Steele is an American heavy metal band that melds elements of mythic storytelling, classic metal ferocity, and symphonic pomp. Formed in New York in 1981 by vocalist/keyboardist David DeFeis and guitarist Jack Starr, the band went through various line-up changes over the years, with DeFeis remaining as the constant cornerstone and driving creative force. Their music is characterized by a distinctive blend of power metal, progressive metal, and elements of classical music, often inspired by ancient mythology and romantic themes.
The band's discography is rich with epic narratives and bombastic compositions. Albums like "The House of Atreus Act I & II" showcase their ability to craft expansive conceptual works, drawing from Greek tragedy and imbuing it with a metallic intensity. Other releases such as "Visions of Eden" and "Nocturnes of Hellfire & Damnation" further exhibit the band's commitment to thematic and sonic complexity. Virgin Steele’s most recent offerings, including "The Passion of Dionysus" and "Black Earth & Blood," continue to expand on their legacy of symphonic and storytelling bravado, while maintaining the raw energy that has won them a devoted following among fans of classic metal and operatic narratives.
