Short intro
Life Among the Ruins is the fifth full-length studio album by US heavy metal band Virgin Steele. It was released in 1993, after almost five years of inactivity. The song Snakeskin Voodoo Man was present only in the American release and was instead released as a single in 1992 in Europe, at the same time of the VHS Tale of the Snakeskin Voodoo Man. The VHS featured videos for Snakeskin Voodoo Man, Love Is Pain, Invitation-I Dress in Black and Cage of Angels-Never Believed in Good-Bye. This is the most overtly commercial of Virgin Steele's albums. It does have its moments: the anthemic '80s rocker Love Is Pain, the tender ballad Last Rose of Summer, and the highly libidinous, Zeppelin-esque I Dress in Black. Some of the best pieces are the shorter keyboard instrumentals. Virgin Steele - Life Among The Ruins 1993.
