Short-lived side project formed by members associated with Virgin Steele that produced the 1985 release Nightmare Theatre.

Associated with members of Virgin Steele (David DeFeis and Edward Pursino). Released the album Nightmare Theatre (1985), characterised by NWOBHM, speed and thrash influences and occult themes.

Nightmare Theatre is presented as a short-lived, experimental 1980s side project of Virgin Steele members. Reviews praise the dark, speed-driven riffs and occult atmosphere but criticise monotony in vocals and limited dynamics. The release is considered a collector's curiosity rather than a fully realised successor to Virgin Steele.

For:Fans of 1980s metal, collectors of obscure releases, followers of Virgin Steele and dark/speed metal curiosities.

 The Exorcist are nothing more than the dark side of New York hard rockers Virgin Steele, who authored two albums together with guitarist Jack Starr: "Virgin Steele" from 1981 and "Guardians Of The Flame" from 1982, obviously already reissued in a recently remastered edition, with added bonus tracks just to keep the money rolling (which have no legs but always run).
