Jul 2, 2024 · Passion of Dionysus is closer to an actual ballad, but both are far more complicated than such a label usually suggests to me. The Passion of Dionysus perfectly matches the grand romantic notions the album title evokes. Unlike Black Light, Bacchanalia Defeis roars, whispers, and screams in perfect balance.
Jul 4, 2023 · The Passion of Dionysus has a bit of a 1990’s Roland home studio patina. And, as Druhm points out in his reviews, the keyboards have a John Tesh-like ambiance that can take you out of your metal mindset. The bass is also problematic. It sounds like a fretless jazz player who got his gigs crossed. I was initially tempted to 4.0 this album.
Jul 20, 2023 · A new Virgin Steele album these days is something like knowingly wandering onto a literal minefield - you know there’s a high risk of peril. That’s a dramatic way to put it, but still - there’s nothing certain with one of these fucking things. I reviewed the last album in 2018 or so and pretty harshly panned it.
Aug 7, 2023 · Virgin Steele are one of those bands that can confidently be called "legends". Yet the band has changed again and again in the 40+ years of its existence: Raw heavy metal in the 80s, short excursions towards glam rock, brilliant power metal in the 90s and increasingly esoteric-progressive-symphonic stuff in the 21st century.
Aug 1, 2023 · Back in early 2019 I did a fairly extensive review of the 5 CD Virgin Steele box set, SEVEN DEVILS MOONSHINE. (SPV, 2018) In that review I pointed out that the last three studio albums, GHOST HARVEST I & II and GOTHIC VOODOO ANTHEMS were not really ‘new’ Virgin Steele albums but rather a massive cleaning of the vaults with dozens and dozens of rare, tracks, cover tunes, alternate versions ...
Voices From The Darkside. VIRGIN STEELE. The Passion Of Dionysus. (Steamhammer Records) 79:46min. More than 40 years of a career and still there: that’s the first thing that came to mind when I heard that US Metal legend VIRGIN STEELE has a new album out. The second thing was, that they haven’t released a really fine album in this whole ...

Jul 2, 2023 · Ironically, I have a good memory of the band. I mean, by magazines and other means. Unfortunately, it’s one band that I’ve never listened to an album or even a song. When I got “The Passion of Dionysus” I had absolutely no idea of what I would find. The thing is that I’m a little impressed by the album. The music in here is pure passion.
