At a time when cultural innovation is being side-lined as never before and many unusual
forms of music are succumbing to the temptation of the commercially more lucrative
mainstream, Virgin Steele are the shining silver lining. For over 40 years, mastermind David
DeFeis has kept one of the most imaginative bands in the power metal genre on track with
his excellent songwriting and charismatic voice. At the same time, DeFeis has never stopped
evolving as a composer, musician and producer, updating his symphonic-tinged sound with
exciting new influences. He has already accomplished this many times over with classics
like ‘Invictus’ (1998), ‘The House Of Atreus I & II’ (1999/2000) or ‘Visions Of Eden’ (2006). In his
current album ‘The Passion Of Dionysus’, DeFeis surpasses himself in his unbridled
creativity. Eight years after the acclaimed studio opus ‘Nocturnes Of Hellfire & Damnation’
(2015), DeFeis` brilliant signature manoeuvres the album through a gripping parable about
control and freedom, creating another highlight of the Virgin Steele career. ‘The Passion Of
Dionysus’ will be released on 30 June 2023 via Steamhammer/SPV as a digi-CD (including a
poster), as a gatefold double LP and in digital form. Virgin Steele will also release three
singles in advance.
