Black Star Riders have released a lyric video for Heavy Fire.
It’s the title track from the band’s upcoming third album, which launches on February 3 via Nuclear Blast.
Vocalist and guitarist Ricky Warwick says of the track: “Only fools would believe that rock’n’roll can rejuvenate a world in the throes of a collapsing civilisation that’s coming under heavy fire from all asunder. But what if the would-be fools are right?”
Black Star Riders will head out on the road throughout March across the UK and Ireland, with guitarist Scott Gorham previously saying he’s excited to play the new tracks live.
He said: “Not many new bands get to record three albums these days. Without doubt this is Black Star Riders best album so far.
“We had a great time recording it and can’t wait to play the new songs live on tour in March.”
Heavy Fire was produced by Nick Raskulinecz and is available for pre-order.
