│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are some Metal artists that have the knack ║ │
│║ of knowing which buttons to push when it comes ║ │
│║ to yours truly. I have been a sucker for ║ │
│║ everything that is melodic in Metal, but with ║ │
│║ that said, there is the equal heavier than thou ║ │
│║ riff or the larger than life chorus that could ║ │
│║ roll my eyes or headbang myself useless. Enough ║ │
│║ about me, and onwards to the gates of JACK ║ │
│║ STARRÆS BURNING STARRÆs brand new album, ôStand ║ │
│║ Your Groundö, newly signed to High Roller ║ │
│║ Records. It has been eight years since the ║ │
│║ previous ôLand Of The Deadö, which introduced ║ │
│║ yet another ex-MANOWAR member that took ║ │
│║ involvement in Mr. StarrÆs ongoing project, ║ │
│║ Kenny "Rhino" Earl, and of course the rest of ║ │
│║ the bandÆs strong lineup. This time there are no ║ │
│║ new introductions just the true form of Metal ║ │
│║ music to lead. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ According to Starr, ôStand Your Groundö could ║ │
│║ have been a fortune maker in late 80s, its ║ │
│║ essence is so strong that it should ranked as ║ │
│║ one of the best albums in the last two decades. ║ │
│║ I can confirm for sure that from what just heard ║ │
│║ on this release, StarrÆs personal notion isnÆt ║ │
│║ really far from reality. BURNING STARR put a ║ │
│║ fist for a fight, a strong straightforward Metal ║ │
│║ at heart album that doesnÆt surrender to any ║ │
│║ form of trend, just playing it honest and with ║ │
│║ force. There is a tight combination of ║ │
│║ everything that promoted Heavy Metal, in the era ║ │
│║ when Starr started his project upon his exit ║ │
│║ from VIRGIN STEELE. Heavy Metal by the book. ║ │
│║ Even the albumÆs sound production is much closer ║ │
│║ to being out of the 80s in contrast to the ║ │
│║ surrounding productions going on nowadays. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Whether the traditional riffs that cross the ║ │
│║ wits of British Metal along with the development ║ │
│║ of the genre in the US back in the 80s, mighty ║ │
│║ solos that arenÆt busy on too much techniques ║ │
│║ just pure to the bone, a terrific singer that ║ │
│║ passion drips from his voice and a pounding ║ │
│║ rhythm section that is heavily tight, everything ║ │
│║ is under a neat package. ôStand Your Groundö ║ │
│║ seemed to me like a determined Jack Starr, an ║ │
│║ old school artist that stands his ground without ║ │
│║ even considering to surrender to the ║ │
│║ evolutionary versions that have been molesting ║ │
│║ Metal music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôWill you be the heroà?ö asks the awesome ║ │
│║ vocalist Todd Michael Hall, which has been ║ │
│║ mesmerising my brains as the front of RIOT V. ║ │
│║ ôHeroö coming in as the albumÆs strongest ║ │
│║ number, an 80s Heavy Metal hit that should enter ║ │
│║ the charts. Hook-laden music, fast paced beats ║ │
│║ and riffs, like a battle cry in the night. ôThe ║ │
│║ Enemyö joins the fun with yet a tremendous vocal ║ │
│║ performance, another memorable Metal scorcher ║ │
│║ with metallic melodies at the wheel. Converging ║ │
│║ within the eleven minutes, the title song ôStand ║ │
│║ Your Groundö is a clarity of StarrÆs vision ║ │
│║ since day one. Under its wing, this epos ║ │
│║ conjured nearly all the aspects that traditional ║ │
│║ Metal has to offer. The clock might overheat due ║ │
│║ to the length, yet time froze, lost its meaning ║ │
│║ while playing this one. Quite versatile work. ║ │
│║ Here are a few additional songs that must be ║ │
│║ listened to: the albumÆs balladry ôWorlds ║ │
│║ Apartö, IRON MAIDEN vain riffery within ôThe Sky ║ │
│║ Is Fallingö and the burning conviction with ║ │
│║ another 80s shrapnel ôStronger Than Steelö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It is fortunate for us that there are artists ║ │
│║ and bands such as Jack Starr that have been ║ │
│║ standing their ground, not letting anything trip ║ │
│║ them in their journeys to fulfill themselves in ║ │
│║ such a direction that they desire. Be sure to ║ │
│║ pick up a copy and let the 80s flow through you. ║ │
