    Hot on the heels of last summer’s brand new Bombastic Epic release “THE PASSION OF DIONYSUS”, this summer the very first VIRGIN STEELE album will be re-issued on August 23, 2024, via Steamhammer/SPV in a very special edition, as a digi-CD and as a Gatefold Double Vinyl LP, and also in digital format. David DeFeis has included an additional moniker to this re-release he calls it…”The Anniversary Edition”, for he has completely re-mixed the album start to finish from the original multi-tracks. He states, ”I added that additional title because one, this is indeed a very special re-issue. And two…this is a celebration. Every song on the album has been lovingly restored, with faith, heart & Steele. Incredibly for the most part the original multitrack tapes held up quite well, but now and again some creative decisions had to be made, which not only did not at all hinder the record’s resurrection, but in the end actually resulted in making the album stronger, and the songs even more interesting. The original fire has been kept…enhanced, and sonically there is greater definition all around. You can really appreciate the explosive performances from everyone. It’s like being back in the studio the day it was recorded. In addition to the inclusion of the early demos, we were also able to include several new bonus tracks including a new thrashing doom type song called HELL FROM BEYOND THE STARS, plus an alternate version of THE FIRE GOD, and a new over the top version of the song VIRGIN STEELE (New Orchestral Version)”. Those like myself who have been privy to a preview of this blazing first album, can attest that the sonic experience has been greatly improved. If raw, rip-roaring high octane metal is your thing, grab a copy of this one at your very first opportunity.
