After the ridiculously good part one, it was expected Virgin Steele to have a break in quality, but fuck no! Virgin Steele is a damn Power Metal express and the engine is at full throttle. Choo Choo motherfucker! Part 2 is as good as part 1, the change they make is stylistic, they go bigger, more epic, less tender, and a tad more progressive.
Jul 4, 2023 · There is no clear answer. If you want to nitpick, I’d start with the production. 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.
Jul 2, 2024 · 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.

The album has been completely remixed by David De Feis himself and a bunch of bonus demo and rare tracks have been added to the original tracklist. A total of 18 songs for almost 78 minutes.

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 ...
