Black Star Riders release second trailer for ‘Heavy Fire’
BLACK STAR RIDERS | BAND RELEASE SECOND TRAILER FOR ‘HEAVY FIRE‘
Following the recent announcement of their third studio album “Heavy Fire“, Black Star Riders have released a second video trailer in which Damon Johnson, Ricky Warwick and Scott Gorham discuss the band developing their own sound beyond the Thin Lizzy legacy: https://youtu.be/NHb15oJTD8s
Heavy Fire is set for release via Nuclear Blast Entertainment on 3rd February 2017
Scott Gorham comments: “We’re absolutely finding our own sound. We’d been on a run with Thin Lizzy for 5 years, so it’s gonna always take a little while to find your feet with a new sound. But, everybody is an individual here and individually we all write differently anyway so you are going to come up with a different sound eventually. Which is what I think we’ve done with this album”

The band’s previous album, ³The Killer Instinct², was released in 2015 to widespread critical acclaim and went on to score multiple radio playlists. A solid year of worldwide touring culminated in December 2015 in an UK arena tour alongside Def Leppard and Whitesnake.
2016 saw the band return to the studio with ³The Killer Instinct¹s² producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, The Foo Fighters, Mastodon), at his studio just outside Nashville. The resultant album is Black Star Riders most accomplished work to date. From the immediate riffs of album opener ³Heavy Fire² to the instant hooks of first single ³When The Night Comes In², from the dirty bass groove of ³Thinking About You Could Get Me Killed² to the familiar and trademark dual guitars of Gorham and Johnson on ³Testify Or Say Goodbye², this is an album that will further cement BSR¹s reputation as one of the world premiere rock acts.
Following on from their critically acclaimed albums ŒAll Hell Breaks Loose¹ and ŒThe Killer Instinct¹ which have paved the way for Black Star Riders to be recognized as a power force in the modern day of Rock n¹ Roll, ŒHeavy Fire¹ will be once again released by Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The band have also brought in Pledgemusic, one of the most innovative and successful platforms of the modern music world, to give fans extra special product and experiences to go along with the album¹s release.
