BLACK STAR RIDERS

 More from this Band



On 23 February 2015, the band’s second album, »The Killer Instinct«, is released via Nuclear Blast. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, RUSH, MASTODON, ALICE IN CHAINS), »The Killer Instinct«, is hard rock in the classic tradition. And as guitarist Scott Gorham says: “We’re so confident about this album. It’s a step up in the evolution of BLACK STAR RIDERS.”
 
It was in 2012 that BLACK STAR RIDERS was formed by four members of THIN LIZZY – Scott Gorham, lead vocalist/guitarist Ricky Warwick, co-lead guitarist Damon Johnson and bassist Marco Mendoza – plus former MEGADETH and ALICE COOPER drummer Jimmy DeGrasso. The band’s debut album »All Hell Breaks Loose« was released in 2013, and drew widespread acclaim in Classic Rock, MOJO, Metal Hammer and Kerrang!
 
But now, with »The Killer Instinct«, BLACK STAR RIDERS have taken it up another notch. “We’ve gone to the next level with this record,” Ricky Warwick says. “It’s the album that really defines BLACK STAR RIDERS.” And Damon Johnson is equally emphatic. “This is the band I’ve dreamed about being in all my life,” he says. “A lean, mean, dirty rock’n’roll band. And I really feel that this is a great album – a huge step in the progression of this band.”
»The Killer Instinct« represents a coming of age for BLACK STAR RIDERS. As Warwick explains, the band had a different mindset going into this album. “When we started writing for »All Hell Breaks Loose«, we still weren’t sure if it was going to be a THIN LIZZY album,” he says. “This time, we didn’t have that pressure. We knew we were making a BLACK STAR RIDERS album, and on a creative level, that opened more doors for us.”
