Black Star Riders – the new band formed from the final Thin Lizzy lineup – have unveiled the cover for their forthcoming debut album, “All Hell Breaks Loose.”
The artwork features a painting by Gil Elvgren (March 15, 1914 – February 29, 1980), the legendary US painter best known for his work on pin-up girls, advertising and illustration.
The artworks ties directly to the origins of the album title.
“I was watching a documentary about World War II bombers and saw the name painted on the side of one of the aircraft,” says singer Ricky Warwick. “The name just resonated with me and it seemed to encapsulate the turmoil that we, as a society, are currently experiencing. The past few years have been such a wild ride and now with the release of the album, it sounded like a bad-ass album title that summed up what Black Star Riders is all about.”
The band features Warwick, guitarists Damon Johnson and Scott Gorham, bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso.
Black Star Riders have just released their debut single, “Bound For Glory” – the track and the album were produced & mixed by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Rush).
“All Hell Breaks Loose” will be released worldwide on the following dates:
May 21st – Japan
May 22nd - Sweden
May 24th – Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Australia
May 27th – UK, France, BeNeLux, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Greece, Ireland
May 28th – US, Canada, Italy, South America
