Virgin Steele

Act I

A Dark Ride Of Fire......"Pure Excellence"

Review Score:

(10/10)
First I want to say that Virgin Steele are excellent. My first love is "Heavy Metal".....Maiden, Dio, King, Priest, Old-Metallica, Gamma Ray, Fates, Savatage, ect. ect.

Don't be fooled by anybody calling this CD an "opera". It's got some great piano pieces, and short ballads, but overall, this CD is pure "METAL".

I could go on forever about how good this CD is, but I'll make it short and to the point.

Virgin Steele is kind of on the dark side, many of their songs are focused towards fire, and destruction. If your not use to this kind of music, it may bother you at first.

I myself, don't enjoy it when bands constantly scream evil chants down your throat. This is not Black Metal, or Death Metal.

I'd call it Dark/Gothic/Melodic/Heavy Metal. One thing I really love about this CD is the vocals.....they are ferocious!!!!

What makes these guys so good is that they mix everything together so well. I've never heard songs written quite like these. This whole CD is one giant story that will blow you away!!!

I bought this CD with reservations......It's a priceless classic if you ask me. If you like any of the bands I mentioned above, you should have very little trouble placing this diamond right up there with all of your favorites.
