{"product_id":"starstruck_thru-to-you_2022_zyx","title":"Thru' To You","description":"Starstruck - \"Thru‘ To You\" - NOW ON VINYL! Once again, Golden Core succeeds in highlighting a forgotten gem of the German Metal Underground, even if the word hard rock would be equally appropriate in this case. In 1984, the band STARSTRUCK from Karlsruhe released their only musical sign of life: the LP \"Thru‘ To You\". Geographically, the band was located quite close to GAMA Records, which was based in Kirchheim\/Teck and recognized the potential of the band, which was already popular in the region. The record was recorded at Spygel Studio with the support of engineer Batze Kramer. This Batze Kramer, who already polished the cult records of bands like Tyrant, Stormwitch, Bloody Six, Vampyr, Gravestone, Restless or Necronomicon! \"Thru‘ To You\" is pure zeitgeist reflected by the music as well as by the cover, which, on closer inspection, shows a lot of humor. Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Heidelberg - melodic heavy metal has always been more popular in this metropolitan region than in the Ruhr or the north. Only Munich also became known for its tendency towards AOR. Starstruck skillfully plays the middle ground between hardness and radio-friendliness, which could have become a formula for success given the well-arranged songs and playing skills. Unfortunately, GAMA was not able to promote the album adequately. At least it was licensed by Mausoleum (Belgium) a year later, and then also on CD for the first time in 1990 (Aurophon, Brainstorm series). Golden Core had already drawn attention to Starstruck in 2021, when one of their tracks was included in the compilation \"Sound \u0026amp; Action - Rare German Heavy Metal \u0026amp; Hardrock Vol. 1\". Today, for the first time, a remastered version of the iconic album will be available on CD, and later this year, also on vinyl.
