Virgin Steele is a heavy metal band from New York originally formed in 1981.
Together with a huge number of career highlights albums (Noble Savage, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part I, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part II and Invictus), in recent years, they have displayed musical theatre, progressive and symphonic metal elements in their sound developing & writing "never done before" projects such as the Metal Opera "The House of Atreus" (based on Oresteia & the Greek myth related to the Atreides) in 1999/2000 and the soundtrack for an imaginary movie Visions of Eden (A Barbaric Romantic Movie of the Mind) aka "The Lilith Project" (based on the sumerian legend of Lilith) in 2006.
They play what they call "barbaric romanticism" which is a symphonic, romantic & bombastic music with many elements from classical music and fantasy/mythological lyrics based on real life events.
