This one is for the band named Virgin Steele. I just bought a 1988 CD
named "Age of Consent". Aparently this group exists since 1982 and had
initially as singer Jack Starr which is doing now a solo career. On
"Age of Consent" they have another singer and the CD is ok. They play
with a style closer to ManOwar to have some comparison. The tracks have
also titles like "The Burning of Rome", "Tragedy" etc.
I started to like the CD after a second listening and actually I quite
like it even if it is not of my favourites. It's good for a change of
style and it's quite easy listening (but they play heavy).
I bought all my last 4 CDs in my favourite shop where they were
reducing stocks and they still have CDs from Omen, Last Crack,
Wrathchild (UK & US), Drive, King Cobra (III), last Raven's and other
bands I don't know. Maybe I miss some good CDs.

What country are they from, and are they getting airplay
elsewhere?
Of course, that's a hard question for you to answer.

There is also poor information like for Hitt Man (special price
editions ??). I think they are surely US.

I checked again the poor information on the leaflet and CD and it seems
they are canadians (at least recorded in Canada). After more listening
they are still ok with favourite songs beeing "Tragedy", "The burning
of Rome", "Stay on top", "We are immortal". The singer has a quite
particular voice, they are four and they use also keyboards (synth).
