David DeFeis (VIRGIN STEELE) is currently locked in his newly built studio, named The Wrecking Ball Of Thor, recording music for his new Metal opera based on the ancient Sumerian character, Lilith. The works will premier on the theatrical stage (performed by The Landestheater Schwaben), this June in Memmingen, Germany. The resulting soundtrack album, which will be issued sometime after, plus all subsequent Virgin Steele albums, will bear the following: "A Hammer Of Zeus Production - Recorded At: The Wrecking Ball Of Thor Studio.” David describes the music as, “the next stage in development from The House Of Atreus. It is bombastic, epic, romantic, barbaric, complex and yes also quite uncomplicated at times. It can be aggressive & tender and perhaps sometimes comes across as House Of Atreus meets The Marriage Of Heaven & Hell!!!???”

Meanwhile, David is also working on a completely different set of songs for a completely different album. David won't say much about this but when hard pressed reveals: “I'm composing like wild, we are rehearsing, and I'm drinking more wine than usual. I've also been enjoying the Scotch more than ever!!!"

Also, a live CD/DVD is still being discussed for release over the next year. This will feature a historical perspective and various live material.
