Reveal First Details Of The New Album

Jack Starr’s Burning Starr

Legendary American Power Metal act Jack Starr’s Burning Starr (founded in 1984 by the ex Virgin Steele  / Phantom Lord guitar hero Jack Starr), started pre-production process of the new studio album titled “Stand Your Ground”, scheduled for recording during Spring and Summer of 2015. Some of the new song titles are: “Stronger Than Steel”, “In Another Time (From Ashes We Rise)”, “Stand Your Ground” or “To The Ends Of The Earth”. “Stand Your Ground”  is a loosely based concept album, about the problems facing America and the world, and the belief that many people have, that we are heading into an era of strife and conflict.

“Stand Your Ground” will include new songs, as well as several recently unearthed, unreleased and never recorded compositions written in the ’80s. The new Burning Starr album – like the previous one, “Land Of The Dead”, which came out on Limb Music in 2011, and which was promoted on European tour, special live show at the legendary Keep It True Festival, and headlining show at the Swordbrothers Festival (both in Germany) – will be produced by Bart Gabriel, producer known from cooperation with acts such as Sacred Steel, Satan’s Host or Mortician, and will be recorded by the same stellar line up featuring – next to Jack Starr: Ned Meloni on bass guitar (ex-Joe Lynn Turner band / Devil Childe), Kenny “Rhino” Earl on drums (ex-Manowar, Holyhell), and vocalist Todd Michael Hall (Riot V, Reverence). European touring lineup of the band is completed by the Crystal Viper front woman Marta Gabriel, who in Burning Starr took over rhythm guitarist duties.

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
