The band formed around the last incarnation of Thin Lizzy, featuring guitar legend Scott Gorham, Damon Johnson (guitar, ex-Alice Cooper), Jimmy DeGrasso (drums, ex-Megadeth), Robbie Crane (bass, ex-Ratt) and fronted by Belfast-born, ex-The Almighty vocalist Ricky Warwick. The band toured ‘All Hell Breaks Loose’ for a year, playing across the globe, while the new album’s campaign kicks off with a UK trek co-headlining with Europe. October 2014 saw the band gather in Nashville, entering the studio with heralded producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, The Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Mastodon) to begin recording the follow up. Frontman Ricky Warwick explains, “Life’s not fair, never has been, never will. Sometimes you have to live with a killer instinct just to survive in the ongoing pursuit of happiness. Because nobody can do for you what you should be doing for yourself.” The energy from a year of touring has resulted in a truly powerful sophomore effort. From the Irish-tinged rock of ‘Soldierstown’ to the balls-out Lizzy-esque harmonies of the title track (and first single). From the dirty groove of ‘You Little Liar’ to the acoustic ‘Blindsided’, this is a band coming of age. ‘The Killer Instinct’ will see Black Star Riders cement their place as one of the most exciting contemporary rock acts. Damon Johnson says “Nick Raskulinecz came riding out of the sunset like a Viking warrior, with his record collection and arsenal of killer guitars and amplifiers and proved to be the world class producer we had heard so much about. Indeed, the rumors are all true. There’s no doubt that Ricky and I had written a sizable number of songs, but Nick patiently walked through the full song list with the entire band and made sure we focused on the material to best represent Black Star Riders in 2015.” Artist Black Star Riders Genre Metal / Classic Rock Label Nuclear Blast Buying Options 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 1LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings The Killer Instinct Bullet Blues Finest Hour Soldierstown Charlie I Gotta Go Blindsided Through The Motions Sex, Guns & Gasoline Turn In Your Arms You Little Liar Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Black Star Riders View Product Quick View Black Star Riders All Hell Breaks Loose (10 Year Anniversary) Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th May 2023 £38.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Star Riders All Hell Breaks Loose (10 Year Anniversary) £38.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: 4065629702014 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Star Riders Wrong Side Of Paradise Metal / Classic Rock | Earache | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th January 2023 £26.00 Select options Black Star Riders Wrong Side Of Paradise £26.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Earache Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th January 2023 Read More Select options On Sale View Product Quick View Black Star Riders Another State Of Grace Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Picture Disc Released 6th September 2019 £15.99 -
