blackstarriders640 The official music video for Finest Hour”– a track from The Killer Instinct, the second studio album by melodic rockers Black Star Riders – is now available for viewing. Watch it below.

Due out in North America on February 24th, The Killer Instinct was produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Alic In Chains, Mastodon) and is a talking book collection of perfectly crafted short stories seasoned with harmonized guitar riffs, barbed wire choruses, and a level of musicianship that will stand the test of time. One listen to Through The Motions, Finest Hour, Soldierstown, Blindsided, and Sex, Guns & Gasoline proves melodic hard rock is not only alive & well, but thriving.

Featuring guitarist Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy, 21 Guns), vocalist Ricky Warwick (Thin Lizzy, The Almighty), guitarist Damon Johnson (Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper/Brother Cane), drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (Y&T, Megadeth), and bassist Robbie Crane (Ratt, Lynch Mob), The Killer Instinct is a lustrous contribution to the chronicles of rock’s still-evolving history.

  1. Damn! I really want to see this band live! I became a huge Thin Lizzy fan in High School, which was kind of weird because they had broken up. The Scott Gorham/Brian Robertson guitar duo is still to this day one of my all time favorite guitar duos. Since I never got to see Thin Lizzy, this band would be the next best thing.

    1. Go if you get a chance, saw them last year with Skid Row….i’ve seen many many shows over the years…. they were excellent. Particularly impressed with Ricky Warwick, thought he was a great singer and frontman.
