VIRGIN STEELE / THE BOOK OF BURNING
American Power Metal band have been around for a while, 20 years to be exact and their first 2 albums have never been available on CD, so David DeFeis decided to re record some of the best tracks form these first albums and along with some new tracks, that’s what we have here.
Considering that this is a sort of best of it’s cohesion is as strong as any of there pervious releases and if you like Epic True METAL, well written, produced and you don’t mind David’s falsetto screams every now and then you will love this piece of re recorded history. Song’s such as the title track of their second album "Guardians of The Flame", and "Don’t Say Goodbye" have stood the test of time and sit very nicely along side new tracks "Annihilator" and "Hellfire Woman".
If you haven’t head the originals for years as I haven’t this is a wonderful way of getting to know the band.
