Album Artwork, Details Of New Release "The Killer Instinct" Revealed By Black Star Riders

Fresh from the critically acclaimed debut album “All Hell Breaks Loose” in 2013, Black Star Riders is set to release the new studio album via Nuclear Blast, “The Killer Instinct”, on February 23, 2015. The album will be followed by a full UK and Eire co-headline tour with Europe.

In October 2014, the band gathered in Nashville, TN and entered the studio with heralded producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, The Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Mastodon) to start recording the follow up. The result is The Killer Instinct. “The Killer Instinct” will be released in different formats: CD, Limited 2 CDs Digibook, Limited Gatefold Black Vinyl and Limited Gatefold Clear Vinyl (available for mail orders only) and the band are pleased to release the album artwork (shown below).
