Virgin Steele - Mambo Sun (New Bonus Track)

VIRGIN STEELE - Life Among The Ruins Reissue 2012
(CD2 ''My Mourning Clothes'' new bonus tracks)
Life Among The Ruins was the fifth full length studio album by US heavy metal band Virgin Steele. It was originally released in 1993 and it`s the first album with bassist Rob DeMartino, who replaced Joe O'Reilly, retired from the scene.
David DeFeis comments on the re-release: "We will shortly be re-releasing our Life Among The Ruins album. This 2012 version will be in digi-pak form and contain not one...but two discs with a large amount of extra ingredients. On the first disc we include five rare and unvarnished acoustic recordings, plus a full band bonus track. On disc number two we have included 20 tracks. These tracks consist of a large amount of newly recorded material completed just this week, as well as alternate mixes of some of the album's original tracks. And in addition we have also included a never released track from somewhere around that period of time. All the material has been re-mastered, and the package will feature copious liner notes, photos and unique packaging!

Amazing cover! And that's the beauty of Virgin Steele, able to do such a great job with a T Rex (or any Hard Rock/bluesy/glam) song without sounding ridiculous, and still blowing our minds with epic metal songs such as emalaith, sword of the gods, perfect mansions, etc... It's been said a thousand times, but it still rings true: What an underrated band... Even their last album had at least 4-5 songs that were way better than anything other well-known "great" metal bands had released recently...
