Enter the Kingdom of the Fearless...
... if you have a good command of the RUSSIAN language! VIRGIN STEELE
on the net goes multilingual - if you don't believe it, check
out the links section.
A Sword of the Gods -
now passed over to Thorsten Retzlaff from Ludwigsburg / Germany,
the lucky winner of the raffle-off at the NOISE
/ SANCTUARY website. Wield it in Strength, in Pride and Honor!
The right answer was - of course - B4. Ah, it wasn't so difficult
to pick the right wrong De-guy from that selection, was it? ;-)

VIRGIN STEELE is currently rehearsing, preparing for upcoming
Festival shows in Europe, plus several 3 hour shows which the band
have been longing to do for some time now! These special gigs will
happen in various Cities throughout Europe starting most likely
.... the first week of June. Stay tuned for further details. In
addition to the full blown Metal-Bombast that you've come to expect
from the band, there will be a chance for those of you who heard
about the "acoustic performances" that David & Edward did last year,
to actually see/hear some of what that was all about! Yes it is
true,...these 3 hour shows will feature some of those secret acoustic
bits & pieces! Several of these concerts will be recorded & filmed
for the future live album/DVD that the band wishes to release in
the not too distant future! We will keep you informed here!!! Stay
well Friends!!!

NO,
this is not a toothpick! These are 48 inches of pure (virgin) steel
ready to get clashed. SANCTUARY RECORDS and german METAL HEART magazine
give you the chance to make it guided by YOUR hands! Go
and seize it with both hands, 'cause there are only 7 days left.
In Vain
Sad but true - our help for you to log in to the live chat with
David at the ROCK HARD website seemed to have come a little late,
as their internet provider had to face technical problems, so that
most of you true and faithful VIRGIN STEELE fans couldn't get a
password and missed out on the chat-room. Anyway, David really did
enjoy the NOISE STARBOARD and he surely WILL resume this kind of
chat some time in the future! So ... don't be surprised then and
keep the good vibes cominī in!
21 January 2002
As the online chat on www.rockhard.de
is meant to be open for all VIRGIN STEELE fans around the
planet, we want to come to assistance of all those who donīt speak
German. Click
here and follow the instructions.
Get your password immediately and donīt be late tomorrow! The chat
will start at 6.00pm Central European Time.
18 January 2002
You've
purchased or perhaps stolen (Haaaa...) "THE BOOK OF BURNING", youīve
been listening to "The Chosen Ones" and you really dig those guest
singersīs voices during the introduction section don't you? Sure,
you already read about them in the interview.
But if you want to learn more about one of those mighty operatic
voices, then you should check out www.realmutoartists.com.
It might knock you off your feet...
14 January 2002
Live attack - First 2002 concert dates confirmed!

6.00pm CET at www.rockhard.de.
Until January 20 you can give him also the 3rd degree at the NOISE
STARBOARD
11 January 2002
So you think we forgot to ask David the most important question
at all in our last interview?! Okay... Thereīll be another chance
within the near future, and this time itīll be YOU who ask!!! -
Stay tuned for the online chat with David DeFeis. Further details
coming soon.
"VIRGIN STEELE rules" - yeah, who didnīt know that?! But did you
also know that thereīs a channel of the same name at www.live365.com
playing VIRGIN STEELE around the clock?
3 January 2002
Only four days to go until "HYMNS TO VICTORY" and "THE
BOOK OF BURNING" are being released. Two weeks ago we talked
to David DeFeis to get some background information on both albums.
Now enjoy the promised interview - here it is.
19 December 2001
Greetings and salutations ...
... to all our friends and faithful metal listeners around the
globe! Welcome back! Since an update on the news section is way
overdue, we now have some updates for all those impatiently longing
for another concert tour and another new album (even though "HYMNS
TO VICTORY" and "THE BOOK OF BURNING" are about to be
released in a couple of weeks):
David is pretty busy at the moment. Not only is he still doing interviews
for the forthcoming releases, but he has also decided to record
new material over the wintertime instead of summer as the band usually
does. So, from now on, touring will (hopefully) be scheduled for
the rest of the year, especially for summer. By the way, which season
do we have now?
All the well-informed travelers on the internet may already know
that "HYMNS TO VICTORY" is the album of the month on the
NOISE / SANCTUARY website. The cover images, liner notes and all
tracks are online, plus interviews with David and Edward. And thereīs
still more to come! If you don't know this, you
should check out this site.
Since David is giving lots of interviews for the media, why shouldn't
we also have our own special interview?! Just check out this site
in a couple of days again!
10 August 2001
Welcome, Friends...
Well, Headquarters has been off-line for a few weeks due to some
technical difficulties, but we're back once again!!! Updating the
status of the new release, The Book of Burning, all is moving
along quite well and on-schedule.
As soon as production is completed on the next album, there will
be some MAJOR revisions to this site as David will be working in
direct conjunction with us. So check back soon. Until then, may
you all remain Invictus!!!
17 July 2001
In light of the recent interview in which Jack Starr alleges that
David DeFeis made comments regarding any other bands or their members
therewith, please be advised that they are all fabrications &
untruths. Virgin Steele has nothing but respect for Hammerfall,
Manowar and any & all bands who are committed to their art,
performance & musicianship.
12 July 2001
HAIL!!!! We hope this update finds you all well met!!! First off,
we'd like to say "Thank You" for your patience with the
maintenance (or more appropriately lack thereof) with the site.
We are happy to report however, that updates will now be made on
a regular basis as maintenance will be done within Virgin Steele
Headquarters.
Big news on hand at the moment concerns the release of two new
CDs this October. The first will be called The Book of Burning.
It will contain re-recorded versions of classic tracks from Virgin
Steele I, Guardians of the Flame and the EP, A Cry
in the Night as well as a collection of other rare, previously
unreleased tracks (both new & old) that the band has written
over the past ten years.
The second CD will be an anthology of classic Virgin Steele material,
spanning the years between Noble Savage through the House
of Atreus, which will feature many different versions, remixes
and outtakes of classics from those works.
