xactly... That's the one mystery I'd still like to have sorted out. Wonder if any of them is even Danae? Plus, I was searching for a picture of Danae DeFeis to add to the page but didn't find one..

The real mystery is who is the girl on your avatar, Dan.

Mary-Louise Parker. Don't tell me you've missed out on Weeds, John?! Best. Series. Ever.

Very interesting, thanks. I am indeed curious who "Original Sin" (photo-op version) are, always wanted to believe they were a real band (or at least that a couple of them actually played on the recording). One of my favorite albums.

How come you care who are in the Original Sin band photo but not in the Exorcist one?

edit:

But really, that's about the gist of it. Just that all female metal bands were so rare that having one exposed as fake thins the herd even more.

Excellent interview! So I guess this part mentioned on Exorcist's M-A page is total bullshit as well?

The second album was written in 1987. Little is known about it, but it's probably the V.S. guys again wanting to make something that sounded different from their usual stuff.

The content on the Metal Archives is 60-70% bullshit. Take anyting you read there with a pinch of salt.

Most likely yes. Probably something somebody pulled out of his ass just like the rest of what's said about Exorcist on M-A. I never heard about a second album, Defeis said nothing about it, I didn't ask. 1987-88 Virgin Steele were busy touring and working on Age of Consent. However I guess it can't be 100 percent ruled out that somebody, likely Cobra Records, toyed with the idea of putting a second Exorcist album together.

great interview to close out all the false info out there. I assume the Mark Edwards mentioned in there has to be the same that has the "Code of Honor" mlp?

Listening to "Stay Ugly" lp right now, first time in at least 10 years, in this song 'Chaos' I really hear the Virgin Steel style here.

I've edited that part of the M-A bio. Hope someone more knowledgeable than me on Virgin Steele matters can rewrite the rest.
