Despite the fact that they ar an American band, Virgin Steele ar bit by bit comely a European metal phenomenon. The mathematical group -- perennially lED by vocalist/keyboardist David DeFeis since their inception in the fall of 1981 -- is a fine instance of a heavy alloy stripe that assimilates classical influences into its romanticistic, symphonic-based reasoned. Virgin Steele began humbly with two self-released albums which, later beingness picked up for external distribution, brought in combined sales of well-nigh four hundred,000 units and critical congratulations from the alloy underground. British metal mag Kerrang! level compared them to early Judas Priest. The group's intriguing blend of classical, metallic element, and a touch of prog manifested itself amply for the first time on their tierce album, the groundbreaking ceremony Noble Savage. This record album marked a change for the band in the departure of original guitar player Jack Starr -- whose more than traditional anthems clashed with DeFeis' grandiose epics -- and the arrival of gifted shredder Edward Pursino. The undermentioned record album, Long time of Consent, was more than commercial-grade than its predecessor, attempting to appeal to both hard-core and mainstream metallic element fans. Management and judge problems prompted a hiatus which over in the early '90s, when German stake rekindled the discharge for the band. While the ensuing record album Life Among the Ruins stayed closer to the '80s, the undermentioned 2 records, The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, Parts 1 and 2 were powerful epics which cemented the mathematical group as unmatchable of the superlative bands in the musical style. The latter record album pronounced the difference of original drummer Frank Ayvazian and new skinbeater Frank Girlchriest. Marriage 2 sold very well in Europe and strike number fin on the Japanese metal charts. House of Atreus Act 1 followed in 1999. The second volume in the House of Atreus Act series appeared 2 geezerhood later.
