Créé en accord avec David DeFeis (VIRGIN STEELE, Chant) et à l'initiative de Matthew Knight (ETERNAL WINTER, Chant), cet album, actuellement en préparation , regroupe 14 classiques de VIRGIN STEELE réinterprétés par des groupes de Heavy Metal (à l'exception de DEADSTAR).
DEADSTAR a choisi de reprendre, dans une version orchestrale, le titre "Image Of A Faun At Twilight", issu de l'album "Noble Savage" (1985).

Ayant contacté David DeFeis par mail il y a quelques jours, voici les commentaires qu'il a émit concernant la reprise de DEADSTAR et la qualité générale du Tribute :
Hi Francois,
Cheers & Thanks very much for your message and all the kind words it brings. Thanks also for contributing the "Image Of A Faun" cover. Very nice work indeed! I think it will be a great moment on the CD!
I truly appreciate all the special care and attention that you & all the bands have given to their tracks! I'm sure that this will be a truly Glorious & Noble album!
We are working on a new Virgin Steele album, and it should be out by October. We also will be doing more shows in Europe starting in the Summer and continuing again once the album is released, so it is quite possible that we will be in France again fairly soon.
I thank you kindly for all your belief, support & efforts, and I wish you a most Glorious weekend...
Hail & BY THE GODS,
