2016 is not even over yet and 2017 is already shaping up to be another massive year as far as new albums go.  One of the new albums announced for release in early 2017 is the new Black Star Riders album, which will be titled Heavy Fire.  No definitive release date is announced yet, but it will be released through Nuclear Blast Records and the band is currently putting the finishing touches on the album with producer Nick Raskulinecz in Nashville.  The band's first two albums were great, so I'm sure the Heavy Fire will be just as great, we'll see.

​On top of that, after a full year off the road, the band will do their first tour in over a year just after the release of the album all across the U.K and Ireland.  Down below are the dates and also an album and tour trailer where you can see what Ricky Warwick, Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson have to say about the album and the tour.  Stay tuned for more details about Heavy Fire, including album art, track listing and release date.
