Description
Out Of The Darkness Part II sees guitar hero Jack Starr return to one of the defining chapters of his career, delivering a direct sequel to his 1984 cult classic Out Of The Darkness. Known for his work with Virgin Steele, Burning Starr, and a range of influential heavy metal projects, Starr channels the spirit of classic '80s metal while refining it with decades of experience, resulting in an album that balances power, melody, and precision.
From the thunderous opener "Hand of Doom" through the driving energy of "Rise Up" and "Tonight We Ride," the album is built on soaring guitar leads, anthemic choruses, and a clear devotion to traditional heavy metal songwriting. Tracks like "Underneath the Velvet Sky" and "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" showcase a more melodic and atmospheric side, while "Into the Pit" and "Savage at the Gate" lean into the aggressive, riff-driven attack that defines Starr's legacy.
Framed by Starr himself as the album he always wanted to make, Out Of The Darkness Part II stands as both homage and evolution--capturing the essence of classic metal's golden era while presenting it with renewed confidence and clarity. It's a record aimed squarely at longtime fans of the genre, delivering the kind of "power and glory" that defined its predecessor while proving the fire still burns strong decades later.
