Following a massive 2013, which saw the release of their acclaimed debut 'All Hell Breaks Loose', Black Star Riders have announced plans to continue the momentum with a follow up.
When it comes to the team behind the soundboard, Black Star Riders have decided to change things up this time around. Taking over the production reins will be Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott, alongside long time Leppard sound guru Ronan McHugh. Ricky Warwick chimes in on the reason Joe was tapped for this album:
“Joe Elliott's passion, enthusiasm for music, as a fan, artist and friend is unquestionable and Ronan McHugh is a phenomenal engineer. Personally having worked with these guys before, it was a no brainer when they said they would like to produce the new BSR album. We are confident that this will be a huge leap forward in the evolution of BSR.”
Joe Elliott adds:
“Having worked with Scott on the Thin Lizzy remixes a few years ago & having produced Ricky’s first 2 solo albums, I’m looking forward to taking our musical journey together even further. We’re aiming to make a serious leap forward with the next album & I’m proud to be able to contribute to the next chapter in the BSR story."
Black Star Riders is set to enter the studio in Dublin in October 2014 to start recording their follow up release. Damon Johnson adds:
“We are all excited about working with Joe, he is like part of the family. And recording this album in Ireland is a special treat for us.”
The new, as yet untitled, album will be released in the spring of 2015 through Nuclear Blast with the band continuing to hit stages all over the world throughout the spring and summer of 2014.
