Black Star Riders have announced a new album and accompanying tour dates.
The rockers will release their fourth LP, 'Another State of Grace', in September via Nuclear Blast, followed by a 15-date UK and Ireland tour in October with special guests Stone Broken and Wayward Sons. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on March 8.
The band — lead vocalist and guitarist Ricky Warwick, lead guitarist Scott Gorham and bassist Robert Crane with recent additions Chad Szeliga on drums and guitarist Christian Martucci — worked with producer Jay Ruston for the follow up to 2017's 'Heavy Fire'. Warwick said:
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be back with a brand new Black Star Riders Album. In my honest opinion this is the best record the band has made! This is Christian and Chad's first album with the band and they have brought a fantastic energy and vibe."
Gorham added:
"It was great to be back in Los Angeles and recording with Jay Ruston was an absolute pleasure. I am excited to see everyone's reactions to this amazing record… and I can't wait to get back on the road and play you these new songs!"
Prior to the tour, Black Star Riders will headline South Wales' Steelhouse Festival in the summer, a UK festival exclusive for the band.
