1994 is the year when Virgin Steele stepped forward into the world of symphonic heavy metal and stepped away from the disappointing generic heavy metal style of their previous effort Life Among The Ruins. The stride towards well structured, intriguing, and mature themes really started with The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell Part I.

... simply masterpiece...


It's the first album where the band sounds unique, not like 2nd Manowar or typical heavy/power band. Also their first album with no fillers or weak ass ballads.

An incredible album, one of their best w/o a question. There's not much to say about it; the songs are great and highly memorable. Pretty much the whole album is highlights, but some songs do get more listens (#1, #3 and #7 these just kick ass).

Weird, I Will Come For You is the most popular song on the album but I didn't like. Other songs are good enough on the other hand.

I always thought this band was more American power metal, rather than just Heavy Metal, anyway it's a great album, and slightly underrated Imo.
It's epically long with 14 songs + bonus songs, and with very few fillers.
There is very good songwriting here, and a great concept behind it, and of course some great catchy riffs, with great guitar solo's too, and added symphonies to give it that power metal touch.
It's just a great album!

I really liked both this album and Invictus, but I still haven't heard the sequel in full yet, only parts of it, but from what I've heard so far, it sounds really good.

I'm still relatively new to this band, so I will try out more of their earlier albums then, and avoid the latest one's for now🖒
