Today in 1985 Virgin Steele released the album Noble Savage Long Island, New York Heavy Metal/Hard Rock (early), Heavy/Power Metal (later) Status:Active Years active: 1981-present Virgin Steele is a heavy metal band from New York, founded in 1981. Over their career they have drifted from traditional heavy metal to hard rock, but moving back to traditional metal and then into power metal territory. They play what they call barbaric-romantic metal, which is very symphonic and contains many elements from classical music. Band-leader David DeFeis describes the music as From a whisper to a scream, barbaric, romantic, bombastic, yet subtle, grandiose, yet earthy. A call, a shout, an invocation to Freedom and the continual awakening to the awareness that every moment of life is lived to its fullest potential. It is a force, a sacred quest which drives Virgin Steele on. Some members of Virgin Steele also released a speed metal album under the name Exorcist.

The album was reissued in 1997 on CD by Noise Records with six bonus tracks. The remastered edition of 2008 by Dockyard 1 added two other extra tracks. In May 2011, the album was reissued once more by Steamhammer Records, a subsidiary of SPV with the same track list as the 1997 release, but with an added bonus CD containing 13 additional tracks. Before the recording of Noble Savage, original guitarist Jack Starr resigned from the band and was replaced by Edward Pursino, an old friend of DeFeis, whose guitar playing immediately fit very well with Virgin Steeles music and style. Pursinos contribution came also in the form of new musical ideas and compositions, and he is still a mainstay in Virgin Steeles line-up. The bands frontman David DeFeis considers this album one of the most important in the history of the band. Noble Savage was the first album where the band was completely satisfied with its music and sound. It is also the first album on which the current musical style of the band is fully manifested, containing grandiose compositions with multi-layered keyboard sound and more sophisticated arrangements. Noble Savage has become one of the most popular Virgin Steele albums and it includes the songs We Rule the Night and Noble Savage, which the band still plays in concert https://youtube/watch?v=3623gpSq8lc
