Here we have part 2 of the legend of 'The House of Atreus.' This piece of work turned into a double CD as David DeFeis and Edward Pursino still had so much creativity left after part 1 that the songs just kept coming. The album opens with one of the best metal songs ever written - 'Wings of Vengeance.' In this song, you can discover one of Virgin Steele's talents that separates them from the rest of the metal world; they like to vary the chorus ever so slightly every time it comes around, which makes for an incredible diversity (you?ll also find this on the 'Invictus' album). As the story unfolds, it is again told in many different ways: heavy, fast, double-bass driven pieces, instrumental interludes, David's voice (spoken words, whispers, screams, or haunting falsetto), and gentle ballads.
