Sometimes you have to live with a killer instinct just to survive in the ongoing pursuit of happiness. The band toured 2013's ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE for a year - playing across the globe. October 2014 saw them gather in Nashville, TN and enter the studio with heralded producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Mastodon) to start recording the follow up. The result is THE KILLER INSTINCT. The energy in the studio from a year of touring, and Black Star Riders gelling as a creative force has resulted in a truly powerful sophomore effort.
From the Irish-tinged rock of ,,Soldierstown" to the balls-out twin guitar riffing of ,,Sex Guns And Gasoline". From the dirty groove of ,,You Little Liar" to the acoustic ,,Blindsided", this is a band coming of age. THE KILLER INSTINCT will see Black Star Riders cement their place as one of the most exciting contemporary rock acts.
