Gabriel Management , the company founded by producer/manager Bart Gabriel and known for their affiliation with acts such as CRYSTAL VIPER, LONEWOLF, SABATON, SACRED STEEL and many others, has expanded upon their association with US power metal act JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR, into a full management deal.

"I've always been a huge fan of Jack Starr and all bands and projects he was involved in, he's always been the Ritchie Blackmore of heavy metal to me. Burning Starr's LP, No Turning Back!, is one of my absolute favorites of the genre, along with RIOT's Thundersteel, or classic SAVATAGE, CRIMSON GLORY or VIRGIN STEELE albums", says Bart Gabriel. "I don't really remember when I first got in touch with Jack, but I think it had to be somewhere in late '90s, as I recently found my name on the thanks list of his CD from 2003, Under A Savage Sky", adds Gabriel. "We kept in touch for all these years, and in the meantime we met at MANOWAR's Magic Circle Festival, where I was with one of my bands, Crystal Viper. Now Jack and Burning Starr have joined our roster, and I can't hide the fact that I'm both happy and honored!"

Marta Gabriel of CRYSTAL VIPER will join Jack Starr's Burning Starr, as their rhythm guitarist at the Keep It True XVI festival (April 19th - 20th in Lauda-Koenigshofen, Germany), 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 Burning Starr, can be seen below:

The song comes off the band's last studio album, Land Of The Dead, which was released in November, 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: Jack Starr (ex-VIRGIN STEELE, ex-GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME) 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 on grand piano and keyboards.

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.
