VIRGIN STEELE THE BLACK LIGHT BACCHANALIA (3 LP BOXSET)
TWELFTH ALBUM FROM LONG RUNNING POWER METALLERS VIRGIN STEELE
Virgin Steele is a heavy metal band from New York, founded in 1981. They play what they call “barbaric-romantic” metal, which is very symphonic and contains many elements from classical music.
Band-leader David DeFeis describes the music as “From a whisper to a scream, barbaric, romantic, bombastic, yet subtle, grandiose, yet earthy. A call, a shout, an invocation to Freedom and the continual awakening to the awareness that every moment of life is lived to its fullest potential. It is a force, a sacred quest which drives Virgin Steele on".
Vocalist David DeFeis says of the new album:
"It will be a long album...close to 80 minutes...The album (to be really brief), concerns the reversal of all things...Once conquered by invading cultures, older Pagan deities become the demons…of the new religion. The Black Light Bacchanalia is a reversal of the sacred sexual customs, and the final desecration of the "Goddess Principle", switching from matrilineal descent to patrilineal descent, with the rise of the idea of the Mountain-Fire God.... And it also has to do with ancient fears such as the fear of the sun not rising...Lyrically it is a kind of continuation of the story I told on the last album...Musically it is quite something else...”
