Es dauert nicht mehr lange bis die neue Virgin Steel Scheibe *Nocturnes of Hellfire & Damnation* durch die Boxen strömt. Wenn man diesen Song *Queen Of The Dead* hört, versteht man, dass die Band nicht totzukriegen ist. Sie sind einfach zu gut.
It will come out with three different covers as a standard 1CD version (the gargoyle cover), a 2CD digi-pak version…yes it is a double album (the snow angel cover), and a 2 LP gatefold version (the flute playing skeleton cover) and download.
Nach dem Album *Black Light Bacchanalia* im Jahre 2010 gibt es endlich wieder News der New Yorker Band Virgin Steele. Atmosphärisch dichter Sound vom Meister David DeFeis himself. Ein 9-minütiges Rock-Epos. Der Song stammt aus dem Reissue *Age Of Consent* vom letzten November, welcher auch 5 bisher unveröffentlichte Songs auf der 2CD-Digipack aufwies.
David deFeis: "It is not a huge massive-budget production. It is more of a simple home-movie-type experience. It was shot by our longtime friend and engineer Ed Warrin, with one camera in several locations. I then spent several days learning how to edit. We have come up with something that I believe represents the attitude and the feeling of what the group is all about. It has a strong live energy about it, possibly because it was shot just a few days after we returned from our latest European performances. It is a kind of guide or overture to the VIRGIN STEELE experience, as it has all the various barbaric-romantic elements that you've come to know and expect from us over the years. There is a really nice ambiance about the clip. It captures a very specific mood and moment in time, and shows a nice part of our island where we live. I hope you will enjoy it." Anfang 2012 ist die Band in Nordamerika unterwegs. Bin gespannt ob die Tour es auch nach Europa schafft. Wäre uns zu wünschen.
