Black Star Riders — the new band formed by Thin Lizzy’s Ricky Warwick (vocals), Scott Gorham (guitar), Damon Johnson (guitar), Marco Mendoza (bass) and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso— will release their debut album, All Hell Breaks Loose, through Nuclear Blast Entertainment on the following dates:
* May 21st – Japan
* May 22nd – Sweden
* May 24th – Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Norway
* May 27th – U.K., France, BeNeLux, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Greece
* May 28th – U.S., Canada, Italy, South America
Discussing the title of the new album, Warwick states, “I was watching a documentary about World War II bombers and saw the name painted on the side of one of the aircraft. The name just resonated with me and it seem 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 album will be released as a standard CD and also as a special-edition digipak featuring a bonus track, Right To Be Wrong, and a “making-of” DVD.

Thin Lizzy ended on Jan 4, 1986. Shame on Gorham for what he’s done since about 1998.
no shame on you!!!!!! he is one of the greats
From my understanding, they toured as Thin Lizzy to honor Phil’s memory, that’s why they never put out or performed any new material under that name. I’m sure that’s why they’re doing the new band with new material for the same reasons: It’s NOT Thin Lizzy, completely, without Phil. I’m sure the new music is something they’d wanted to do for a long time, can’t blame them for that. But at least they’re doing it honorably.
cant wait to listen to the album .LOVE SCOTT GORHAM!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s ok speed king is entitled to his opinion,but someone that is a life long lizzy fan is very happy that scott & all the other great musicians that have been in lizzy have kept the music alive.I saw lizzy open up for queen in 76& have been a freak for them ever since.
