Virgin Steele
Guardians of the Flame
Great CD!
Review Score:
(10/10)Most tracks have an 80s feel to them, so if you're into 80s rock or metal, this is for you. David DeFeis' soaring voice really enlivens all the tracks. This is distinctive Virgin Steele, easily recognizable to fans, but a good introduction for those who've never heard them. Die-hard fans will probably prefer the more involved instrumentals and themes on the "House of Atreus" or "Marriage of Heaven and Hell" albums, but "Guardians of the Flame" is a great early effort. The interview with the band (track 14) offers some very interesting insights into the band's early life and their philosophy toward their music. As a fan of Virgin Steele for several years now, I appreciated the look inside their hearts and minds, and I think other fans will appreciate it too.
