Marta Gabriel: teams up with Jack Starr



Marta Gabriel Official
Marta Gabriel of CRYSTAL VIPER will join the legendary U.S. Power Metal act JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR, as their rhythm guitarist at the KEEP IT TRUE FESTIVAL, and on all other European live shows that will be scheduled for 2013. "Jack Starr was quite impressed with the rock solid playing of Marta Gabriel and asked her if she would be available to do some shows with BURNING STARR as the recorded music of BURNING STARR usually features more than one guitar part".

"Land Of The Dead", the new video from JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR — the U.S. Power Metal act led by former VIRGIN STEELE guitarist Jack Starr — can be seen at this location:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvxhWcDo8Sk. The song is the title track of the band's latest studio album, which was released on November 11, 2011 via Limb Music. The CD was produced by Bart Gabriel (CRYSTAL VIPER, SACRED STEEL, LONEWOLF), and features cover artwork by Ken Kelly (RAINBOW, KISS, MANOWAR). "Land Of The Dead" was recorded by the same lineup that was responsible for 2009's "Defiance" album: Starr on guitar, Ned Meloni on bass, Kenny "Rhino" Earl (ex-MANOWAR) on drums, and Todd Hall on vocals. The CD also features guest appearances by David Shankle and Ross The Boss (both ex-MANOWAR) on lead guitar, and Marta Gabriel (CRYSTAL VIPER) on grand piano and keyboards.

As previously reported, JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR will play an exclusive show at the 2013 edition of the KEEP IT TRUE FESTIVAL in Germany. The group's setlist will include classic songs from the early JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR albums, songs taken from the band's new CD, "Land Of The Dead", and select cuts from Starr's previous bands VIRGIN STEELE, PHANTOM LORD and GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME. The entire show will be filmed for a special DVD release, which will be out in 2014 — the 30th anniversary of JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR. Also in the works are European live shows for 2013.

JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR album from 1986, "No Turning Back!", was reissued on July 25 via Skol Records and it's the first official CD re-release of this LP since 1998. The remastered reissue includes new artwork and contains two bonus tracks and thick booklet with all lyrics and many previously unseen photos. The CD is limited to only 1000 copies.
