Black Star Riders – featuring former members of Thin Lizzy – have posted an update on the status of their forthcoming debut album.
“We’re at The Cave, which is [producer] Kevin Shirley’s studio,” says frontman Ricky Warwick. “He’s mixing the album and it sounds amazing … the drums are huge, the guitars rip, the bass is pounding and the vocals are great."
The band has said the album will be released at the end of May, with the first Black Star Riders live appearances happening around the same time.
After touring the past few years as Thin Lizzy, the lineup adopted the new band name to start the project with a clean slate, and out of respect to the legacy of the late Phil Lynott.
Next week, Black Star Riders tour Australia – as Thin Lizzy – as the opening act on the KISS/Motley Crue package.
