BURNING STARR's Jack Star: "It is hard to persist in playing traditional metal when in America it is almost nonexistent, but the fact that this is happening is also exciting and reminds me of the early eighties…"
It would appear that it is hard to create traditional Metal in the US, at present, with all the modern stuff hanging around taking the scene, inch by inch. Jack Starr, guitarist, composer, and songwriter of the long time running band, BURNING STARR, has been one of the old school Metal remainders of an American scene. As it seems, in regards to Metal music, that vast Metal scene appeared to have almost forgotten about its golden era heritage of the 80s.
After a long period of hard work, BURNING STARR came up with a new album, "Stand Your Ground", also recently signed to High Roller Records. Due to the new release, Jack Starr talked to Metal Temple's Lior "Steinmetal" Stein about what has been going on all these years, how he sees the current Metal scene, and of course, discussing points regarding "Stand Your Ground", which is considered by the American guitarist as his prime achievement.
