US/Irish hard rockers BLACK STAR RIDERS released their highly-acclaimed third album "Heavy Fire" (#6 UK, #11 Germany, #60 Ireland, ...) on February 3rd via Nuclear Blast. To present these new tracks on European stages, the band will be joining forces with legendary FOREIGNER on select dates this May/June. These will be also the first shows with drummer Chad Szeliga, who was announced as new band member of BLACK STAR RIDERS a few weeks ago. All dates can be found below!
"We are honored and delighted to be sharing a stage with our friends in FOREIGNER, they are one of the all time great bands with a fantastic catalog of timeless songs. And it's extra special as Germany is a country very dear to BSR as we have fantastic fans there ourselves", commented the band.

From the immediate riffs of album opener 'Heavy Fire' to the instant hooks of first single 'When The Night Comes In', from the dirty bass groove of 'Thinking About You Could Get Me Killed' to the familiar and trademark dual guitars of Gorham and Johnson on 'Testify Or Say Goodbye', "Heavy Fire" is an album that will further cement BLACK STAR RIDERS's reputation as one of the world's premiere rock acts.
