  • Bio

    ...... ..Myspace Backgrounds.... ...... We were born to defy, we were born to heed our own heart's call and our own voice. Amidst a sea of lame excuses, mediocrity, conformist rhetoric, and other bland sentiments that pass for ROCK MUSIC these days, we stand as an Island, a Fortress, a Bastion, a Haven for the Foundation of what we consider to be the True METAL Faith and perhaps the CLASSICAL MUSIC of the 21st CENTURY. A Testament to the Power of the Will, exploration and self expression. An alternative to the ever present corporate menace that passes for Popular Music..... As we enter the new Millennium, we see our goal to be a union, a convergence of various Forms into one. Music, be it ROCK based, CLASSICAL based or whatever, Poetry, Theatre, Painting, Sculpture and Film can and will be molded, blended and reborn in new and exciting shapes. Shapes/forms which can enrich our World, galvanize our emotions, open our senses, our hearts, our minds, to Spheres, Plains, and Oceans of unlimited possibilities through which we may see our Universe and our relationship so it in a new and different Light! To truly live, to drink the new Wine, to bathe in new Waters both strange and beautiful, to embrace what was lost and what may be found, this … is the Spirit which drives our passion ever onward! .... We invite you to join us on this Quest for Life, Adventure and the Pursuit of all Forms of Emotion, Expression and Passion!!! BY THE GODS it is time to Fly!!! ALL are Welcome, ALL are One, THE GATE OF KINGS AND QUEENS is Open for those who have the Wish and the Will to Walk on through!!! .... After the Fire, Water, Wrath, Storm, Pain and Tears ... We will meet again in Honour, Faith & Love ... Don't be late!!! .... BY THE GODS & GODDESSES...

    It is Barbaric...it is Romantic. It can be Heavy as a Mountain, then tender as a kiss before dying...Brutal yet Beautiful. Music to invade by, but also seduce, conjure and celebrate the deeper Mysteries of Life...

    HAIL!!!
    I heard that you will come in Greece! That's great, but why only in Athens? Come to Thessaloniki too, there are many many fans here waiting for you!
    We are waiting since 2004 when your show was canceled! It was a great frustration back then.
    But now our lust for your "Virgin Steele" has grown even bigger and we cannot wait any longer!
    DO A SHOW AT THESSALONIKI AT ALL COSTS!
    Even Manowar came to Thessaloniki and only in Thessaloniki!
    Last night Judas Priest were here, all the great metal bands play here!
    Why not the greatest? Why not Virgin Steele!!??!
    I hope that our wish will be heard by you and finally come true.
    Yours,
    Alexandros
