Totally agree, Virgin Steele deserves much better stuff than the actual light power kind, they must Return to the Rock times with the Age Of Consent, and Noble Savage, when they really Rock!
the new album is amazing!! it kicks many asses!! new guitarists, please listen to Jack Starr and not bullshit like slipknot etc! it will help you to be better musicians!!
Thank Nnikos for the great comment and as you know Greece was the country that gave me a record deal when no one else would in 2003 and because of that Burning Starr is back ,Keep the Metal Burning
The booklet was a bit messy though. Some lyrics weren't there at all, and some were posted several times. Ancient Ones are also listed as the first track, but the lyrics fit Inquisitor...
But it doesn't matter, because the music is great!
With the release of BURNING STARR's "Defiance" the entire metal nation can hear the vocal prowess of Todd Michael Hall that Saginaw, Michigan USA has known for 25 years. May this immense talent continue to shine!
I bought this cd at the day of the release in Austria... My intention was to buy the debut of "Crimson Cult", but it wasn´t stored, so I bought this one and it was definately the best thing I could have done!
Sounds really great! I think theese songs will sound absolutely great live! So drag your band to Gothenborg, Sweden! I will be in the front! Keep on Rocking guys!
We would love to visit your country,right now there are no plans but Magic Circle band Manowar loves to play there so it must be cool,Keep on Rockin,Jack
This ain't right. Nobody is suppose to top the Metal Kings. Why can't Manowar write like this any more? What gives? I can't wait to see Starr again in Germany. They rocked big time last year. All hail!!
- Why can´t Manowar write like this anymore? - Because they don´t have a good guitarist anymore. Just listen to Ross´ New Metal leader - that´s exactly the element that is missing nowadays. They released 6 Albums from 1982 - 1989 wich remain classics.
From 1989 to 2009 they´ve released 4 albums but a million DVD´s and live CD´s!! Draw your own conclusions
thanks but that is not our intention and anyway I started Virgin Steele and I just wish they would have gotten bigger because it would help me in the same way that Manowar's fame is helping Ross the Boss.I am an important part of the VIrgin Steele saga and I would love to see them get to the next level in metal as I am starting to do
Jack i am addicted to your music now. You are an insane guitarist and this band seems so amazing. Thanks for the updates by mail bud. I hope to be uploading some stuff with my band soon. Best of wishes.
pretty good but it´s always hard to judge an album by samples. I think Todd Hall is a mike tirelli for these times, awesome high register and also a solid low register. He will be featured in my 4 octave wonder series soon!
very interesting comment in view of the fact that some reviewers actually thought that Todd was Mike Tirelli when we appeared at shows in Germany ,I think that they are both great singers and Mike on a good day can kick Geoff Tate's and Bruce Dickinson's ass ,he is a force of nature
WOW!!! This is FANTASTIC!!! The shot in the arm, metal needs right now. Really love, "The Day Of The Reaper, Defiance, The King Must Die, Catch The Rainbow and The Beast Inside. Excellent Work Jack.
for the kind words .we are grateful to be able to make the music we love and to go to strange countries ,meet beautiful women,get paid large sums of money and get to kick ass ,Keep Rockin
Screaming guitar full of passion and soul, dragging sounds, fat riffs, excellent melodies, ferocious solos, a voluminous power voice and the heaviness of 80s metal!
DEFIANCE is simply irresistible!
The rapid Power Metal song The King must die makes my feet dance!
The terrific True Metal song Defiance almost made me cry but also helped to stand up again. It works like a magic medicine.
The voice is arresting but if it was Mike Tirell there it would be much better 'cause his quality vocal isn't easy to replace though.

Great effort guys. Vocals are outstanding.
I picked it up for "The King Must Die" and to see what you did with "Catch The Rainbow",
(a favorite of mine). Very nicely done.
I have been a Starr fan for years and was glad to see this release.
Thanks guys.
