Ricky and the boys talk knob twiddlers
BLACK STAR RIDERS are set to release their forthcoming album Heavy Fire on the 3rd of February 2017. In anticipation of the release, the band have unveiled a third video trailer in which Damon Johnson, Ricky Warwick and Scott Gorham discuss returning to the studio with The Killer Instinct¹s producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, The Foo Fighters, Mastodon).
Ricky comments: “Well you know we had such as good time making The Killer Instinct with him. Nick¹s a great guy, he¹s a musical genius, he¹s sonically very together and has great ears. He¹s got a great passion for music, 24/7 he never switches off. The Killer Instinct was a very successful record for us and we felt there was no need to change the teamŠ because we were happy. I think that¹s helped develop our own sound.”
