'Ticket's There' – Irish and International Music Blog

Yes, another Black Star Riders story; and why not?

The new-Lizzy line-up has unveiled the impressive new art-work for their forthcoming debut album, All Hell Breaks Loose. Below is a blurb about the art-work and its origins that the band themselves posted earlier this morning. All hell breaks loose hits shelves in May, not June as previously reported by stupid Tickets There minions (me…the editor, owners and guru extraordinaire).

‘The artwork features a painting by Gil Elvgren (March 15, 1914 – February 29, 1980), the legendary US painter best known for his work on pin-up girls, advertising and illustration.

The artworks ties directly to the origins of the album title. Ricky Warwick explains “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 seemed 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.”

Last week, Black Star Riders released the first song from the new album, ‘Bound For Glory’, which you can listen to below.
