"Age of Consent" was the fourth full length album by US heavy metal band Virgin Steele. It took eight months to be completed, in comparison with Noble Savage that was recorded in a few weeks, and was originally released in October 1988. The songs of this album follow in style and content the music of the previous album Noble Savage, adding a more polished sound and production. Before the release of “Age Of Consent” the band toured heavily in Europe as special guest for BLACK SABBATH and MANOWAR.

From David DeFeis:
“Our good Friends over at SPV will be re-issuing our AGE OF CONSENT album on November 28th. To me Age Of Consent is the album that I usually refer to as…”the one that got away album” in our career. When it was originally released it was sent out into the World without any promotion or fanfare, much like a soldier, catapulted onto a battlefield, naked and without any weapons. Because of this many people were completely unaware of its existence. Therefore we are absolutely over the moon about being able to present it to you once again. For this re-issue, I have re-mastered all the songs from the original source tapes, and...added several more "Bonus Tracks". Some of the bonus material features brand new compositions, and other tracks are covers that have been re-arranged and in some cases re-written. We hope that you will join us in celebrating our anniversary, and....we hope you will enjoy & play at maximum volume...these Barbaric-Romantic creations....”
