Veteran Metal guitarist/bassist David K. Starr (WildeStarr, Vicious Rumors, CHASTAIN) returns with a slamming new track and video

"NOT DEAD YET" is Dave's own testimony of life's twists and turns after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2020. 

Dave says... "I originally started writing the song about what I have gone through, but then I realized its bigger then me, this song is for anyone out there dealing with life changing events, be it their health, death of a loved one, a broken heart, or whatever comes your way". Dave continues.. "I never mention my health problems in the song, that would be too corny, so I broadened my scope and made it for anyone out there who's going through pain"..."Its basically about standing tall and fighting for yourself, fighting to stay alive, no matter what kind of hell life throws at you”

"NOT DEAD YET" was directed by London Wilde, and features Dave singing lead vocals for the first time, as well as playing all the guitars. Backing up Dave on this new track & video are Rich Gray on bass (Annihilator, Aeon Zen) and drummer Fabio Alessandrini (Annihilator, Bonfire)

David K. Starr was the bassist with Vicious Rumors from 1984 – 1993, and again from 2005 – 2007. He is featured on the albums; Soldiers Of The Night (1985), Digital Dictator (1988), Vicious Rumors (1990), Welcome To The Ball (1991), Live In Tokyo (1992), and WARBALL (2006)

David played bass for CHASTAIN from 2001 – 2005 and recorded the 2004 album, In An Outrage.

ENVY OF NONE RELEASE NEW HALLOWEEN SINGLE ‘NOT DEAD YET’ - NEW VIDEO OUT NOW

With an unyielding spirit and defiant energy, "Not Dead Yet" is the latest offering from Envy of None, scheduled for release on Halloween. Featuring the masterful musicianship of Rush’s Alex Lifeson (guitars), Coney Hatch’s Andy Curran (bass, keyboards, backing vocals), Alf Annibalini (guitar, keyboards), and Randy Cooke(drums), with the ever-compelling Maiah Wynne delivering lead vocals, Envy of None conjure a unique blend of classic, progressive rock and modern, vibrant textures. 
 
Speaking on the song's meaning, Maiah, who penned the lyrics, shared that it was inspired by Andy's raw chorus line: "I'm not dead yet, come on along and see what I am good for." She describes the track as a cathartic anthem, one that embodies resilience and defiance against the forces that aim to tear us down. "Simply continuing to exist, to create, and to fight is inspiring and powerful. "You have to continue to exist, to create, and to fight. That’s the heart of the song: keep going and enjoy the ride." The single is accompanied by a video inspired by the Mexican Dia De Los Muertos ‘Day of the Dead’ holiday, produced by Mariano Biotico.

As the band blends their dynamic soundscapes, "Not Dead Yet" unfolds as a layered journey, driving forward with tight rhythms and Alex Lifeson’s legendary guitar lines. The breakdown, Wynne’s favourite part, is the song’s emotional peak, offering listeners a moment of release before launching back into its resilient conclusion. The mix, by Annibalini, coupled with Harry Hess’s mastering, guarantees that every element shines with clarity and force. 
 
‘Not Dead Yet’ not only serves as a bold statement from the band but also as a testament to the unyielding human spirit, a reminder to keep fighting, creating, and pushing forward—no matter what.
