After the band’s record label at the time went out of business in 1987 and bassist Joe O’Reilly decided to leave the band, they were unable to record any further studio albums or go on tour for the time being. It wasn’t until 1993, following protracted legal disputes with their former management and after finding a new bassist in Rob De Martino, that the band was able to make a comeback. That same year, Virgin Steele released the album *Life Among the Ruins*, which quite unusually for the band featured Whitesnake-influenced hard rock with blues elements.
