High Roller Records, reissue 2023, slipcase, bonus track, Transfer, audio restoration and mastering by Patrick W. Engel in September 2021, Jack Starr was a founding member and original guitarist of US metal legends Virgin Steele from New York. After their second album »Guardians Of The Flame« was recorded in 1984, Starr and Virgin Steele parted ways. As a direct result, his first of many solo albums (under the name of Jack Starr as well as Burning Starr) »Out Of The Darkness« was released before the year had come to an end. As the rhythm section for his first solo effort the guitarist extraordinaire got drummer Carl Canedy and bassist Garry Bordonaro (both from fellow New Yorkers The Rods) on board, he recalls InchI did know them because we had done some shows together during my time in Virgin Steele.Inch The singer on the record was no other than Rhett Forrester, who had just departed from Riot.

InchRhett was a kind and considerate man who liked me a lot, and that was amazing because he didn't like many people. So I was very grateful to have him as a friend, and also he had a great voice and could sing blues and rock and gospel. He reminded me of Elvis Presley.Inch Finally, there also was Gary Driscoll on drums (with a guest performance on the song InchLet's Go Crazy AgainInch). Gary had been in Elf and Rainbow, a true rock legend...InchIt was a dream come true,Inch comments Jack Starr, InchGary Driscoll who I admired was playing on my album. It was crazy.Inch Stylistically »Out Of The Darkness« ranges from straight ahead metal (InchConcrete WarriorInch, InchChains Of LoveInch), epic stuff like InchFalse MessiahInch, a ballad (InchCan't Let You Walk AwayInch) to party metal anthems (InchWild In The StreetsInch), with
