'The House of Atreus Act I' represents the first part of Virgin Steele's 'barbaric-romantic' (to quote David DeFeis) metal opera, which revolves around a story of betrayal, murder, and revenge situated in ancient Greece around the time of the Battle of Troy. This album (along with the second part) showcases the band's full potential like none of its predecessors in Virgin Steele's long career. The opener, 'Kingdom of the Fearless' takes us into the story (which is rather complicated - read the booklet!) with double-bass drumming, exploding guitars, and David's voice, which, on this one, he uses more to scream than to sing. As we proceed through the album, the story is told with instrumental pieces, spoken words, swords? clanging, and acoustical renditions of heads being chopped off - very entertaining indeed.
