Dear Friends,
We want to thank you all very much for your Faith and Support and for your best Wishes that came in within the last days! This e-greeting-card was sent in by Young Simone & Young Alice from Italy. Thanks!

Also, please notice the updated information on the LILITH theater play performance this July (see kindly news from May 9 2005 further down below).

25 May 2005

Greetings Friends!

Please kindly understand that we truly are seriously disappointed that we can not participate in the BANG YOUR HEAD & NUMMIROCK Festivals with you this year.
Without going into detail, one of the main problems that we face in regards to appearing there is David must undergo tests and procedures that week (as Mark Gorman announced earlier).

We however do not intend to leave that situation unfinished or unattended. We do hope to rectify these cancellations and hopefully somewhat make up for our absence at The BANG YOUR HEAD Festival, by headlining The KEEP IT TRUE FESTIVAL in Germany on November 5th. We will also arrange for a special concert in Finland to address our cancellation of Nummirock.

We know that many of you are disappointed that we won't be there ... We are also very disappointed, but as you have come to know, we will always go that extra mile for you, and we will come back ... stronger than ever!

We thank you ALL for your understanding, your patience, your faith, belief, and support, and we look forward to seeing you ALL again very soon ...

BY THE GODS & GODDESSES,

VIRGIN STEELE

Read more here on the Live dates page!

VIRGIN STEELE'S appearance at the BANG YOUR HEAD FESTIVAL & NUMMIROC FESTIVAL cancelled:
While undergoing a medical exam to discover the source of a severe, persistent pain, additional serious health issues were discovered that need attention, and it has been suggested by medical authorities that David DeFeis undergo further testing and treatment procedures. Since time is of the essence and these procedures will be ongoing, (several are scheduled for the week of these Festivals), therefore it is with a heavy heart and sincere regret that we must unfortunately announce to you that the Group must bow out of these two engagements. We thank you all for your understanding and patience, and we assure you that the Band will be back onstage with you all once again shortly…

From the studio ...

... of HM Dave

Parts of the interview with David DeFeis at HM Dave´s Place from April 4 are available from the web. Go to www.hmdave.com and find mp3 samples in "The Downloads" section.

... of The Hammer of Zeus

David DeFeis has finally decided which Songs will be issued on the first CD, from out of the over 60 compositions he has prepared so far. And not only that, but the Group is actually now Officially half way through capturing the first 20 on tape. Sessions are going extraordinarily well, and the Group is hoping for a much sooner...rather than a much later release.
We will keep you informed, as the information comes our way. I have also heard rumors about a "making of" short video documentary that is in the works!

Thanks for your support, belief and patience!
