Many bands are born by splits and are fueled by feuds. Few however manage to lead a entire genre. One of them is Gamma Ray.

“Age Of Consent”, Virgin Steele’s fourth studio album, is without a doubt one of the best LPs in my collection. The New Yorkers are one of my favorite bands of all time and every release is very special for me. The “Age Of Consent” was officially released in 1988, but until a few years ago and the time of its re-release it was considered as the bands “lost” album. The reason was that it had been released in limited copies and for a limited time.
