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 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.
It is neither a USPM classic nor a grand glorious affair like many a Virgin Steele album. In fact, it has aged rather horribly and sounds all the more bashfully archaic for it. Thankfully, it knows its place. It may have no standing in the wider spectrum of things, but boy, does it rock with all its might.
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.
Oct 17, 2022 · Virgin Steele have a generous amount of true/euro Power Metal and Symphonic Metal in their sound, and the album is laden with synthed strings, horns, and general fanfare. Really, this thing just doesn’t miss. 13 tracks and almost all of them rip, even the interlude/outro tracks are still good.
Oct 5, 2024 · Originally released in the year of their birth (1981), “Virgin Steele I” made rather a good impact, but not as much as their sophomore one. VIRGIN STEELE are from Long Island, New York, USA and make pure US Metal in many facets but with very different faces musically. But there is a way that you can tell that this is a debut album.

Is age of consent the best Virgin Steele album?
But at the foundation of that empire is “Age Of Consent”. This album embodies all the aspects of Virgin Steele; the epic, the light hearted, the aggressive, the romantic, the noble and the absurd. If ever a band was to be too multi dimensional and overly segmented, they usually strove to make a record that captured them at all angles.
