Why in the hell has David DeFeis decided that the guitar must be almost inaudible on a metal CD? Metal means "guitar" upfront for me not "piano"...Visions Of Eden could be good if only the guitars were heavy and upfront, as it was the case on their best albums, the 2 Marriage Of Heaven & Hell and Invictus, also Noble Savage. This one was just dull because of the lack of guitars...Was Edward Pursino still in the band? If so, why did he accept that lack of guitars on the final mix of the album?
Hopefully DeFeis will come back to his senses soon, and will release something worth listening before he gets too old and retires.
That saddens me to write this cause Virgin Steele was one of my fave band in the 90s. I started to not care about them after Invictus, which is their last great album IMO.
