VIRGIN STEELE release epic and monumental movie!
23rd January 2019Using cool bare bones old school technology, informal personal at home footage, live rehearsal footage, both moving video clips, & still photos, plus musical excerpts/samples and narration, we have crafted & assembled what we call: an Audio/Visual Symphony. Something like a Radio-Play (think H.G.Wells āWar Of The Worldsā for exampleā¦.) or perhaps more accurately what we have created is a āPsychodramaā describing, detailing and providing an above, below, inside & ābehind the musicā view so to speak, of what this SEVEN DEVILS MOONSHINE BOX SET contains, and what it is all about. This Work is raw, wild and untamed, bruised yet beautiful and noā¦Steven Spielberg was not involved. Enjoy!
David DeFeis discusses the SEVEN DEVILS MOONSHINEĀ āMOVIEāā¦.:
“I wanted to have thisĀ āMovieā out sooner but my father became quite ill and he passed away on December 20th, 2018 so I was quite involved with many other matters for quite some timeā¦but now we have finally completed this very huge audio/visual documentary, and wellā¦here it isā¦
Like the albums found within the SEVEN DEVILS MOONSHINE Box Set this āPsychodramaā also takes one on a tripā¦a journey through the Kingdom of Steele, offering a behind the scenes look into the 5 albums contained withinā¦it is a sort of āPhoto-Essayā, part documentary, and part audio samplerā¦it works strictly from the aural perspective like a Radio broadcast, with voiceover details and musical excerpts/samples from about 40 or so songs out of the 88 pieces found within the collection, butā¦with the inclusion of all the visuals it has become something even more descriptive and revealing. I originally thought it would be about 8-10 minutes longā¦but like the Box Set, it grew and grew into this monumental, Epic āRoad-Tripā we now have. This Audio/Visual sampler is an anniversary celebration of our History, as well as a glimpse into some of what we have been doing for the past year, and it is also a depiction of what life is like for us. Here you will find energy, passion, drama, a whole lot of darkness, as well as light (the Danse Macabre is ever presentā¦) and yes within all that turbulence there is also a sense of humor as wellā¦
The visual imagery get more & more elaborate as we delve deeper into the āChaptersāā¦and like some of our more āOperaticā musical moments there are recurring visual themes that are introducedā¦and which develop and morph throughout this āMovieā. In the weeks ahead we will select and prepare certain songs from each of the 5 discs, and present their complete full-length video versions.
Hail & Thanks so very much for listening and for being a part of our Worldā¦”
