VIRGIN STEELE - Nocturnes of Hellfire & Damnation

[KingsGene]

BWBK's Kelley Simms 8/10 review

The production on this is light years ahead of the last two. I love VS but the last two were near unlistenable due to the limp guitar sound. 5 songs in and its definitely evoking more of the classic VS sound, squeals and all

 

[Palabra de Dios]

I freaking love the House of Atreus albums. Yeah there are a ton of interludes or whatever, but when those songs pick up, they fucking SMOKE!

 

[Fire breath]

HoA disks are pure masterpieces next to this disk. The first few songs are good to ok but from half way the album falls into a slow demise that it never comes close to escaping.

 

[Cheiron]

The endless comparisons to Eric Adams are tiring. Sure there are similarities, but David was singing this way back on the first album, which was released the same year as Manowar's first album.
