U.S./Irish hard rockers BLACK STAR RIDERS released their hotly-anticipated third album Heavy Fire on February 3rd via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Recently, the band premiered the new lyric video for “Heavy Fire,” the album’s thundering opening track.
Lead vocalist/guitarist Ricky Warwick explains about the track, “Only fools would believe that rock n roll can rejuvenate a world in the throes of a collapsing civilization that’s coming under heavy fire from all asunder. But what if the would-be fools are right?”
From the immediate riffs of album opener “Heavy Fire” to the instant hooks of first single “When The Night Comes In,” from the dirty bass groove of “Thinking About You Could Get Me Killed” to the familiar and trademark dual guitars of Gorham and Johnson on “Testify Or Say Goodbye,” Heavy Fire is an album that will further cement Black Star Riders’ reputation as one of the world’s premier rock acts.
The latest record follows on from their critically acclaimed albums All Hell Breaks Loose and The Killer Instinct, which have paved the way for Black Star Riders to be recognized as a power force in the modern day of Rock n’ Roll, Heavy Fire 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 album’s release.
