Today in 2010 Virgin Steele released the album The Black Light Bacchanalia Long Island, New York Heavy Metal/Hard Rock (early), Heavy/Power Metal (later) Status:Active Years active: 1981-present Virgin Steele is a heavy metal band from New York, founded in 1981. Over their career they have drifted from traditional heavy metal to hard rock, but moving back to traditional metal and then into power metal territory. 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. Some members of Virgin Steele also released a speed metal album under the name Exorcist.
