Black Star Riders All Hell Breaks Loose (CD, Nuclear Blast, 2013) ***
Genre: Pop/rock
Places I remember: HMV (East Croyden)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Valley Of The Stones
Gear costume: All Hell Breaks Loose
Active compensatory factors: The band grew organically out of the, post Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy touring band. Rather than get in a vocalist like Phil Lynott to continue as Thin Lizzy the band restyled themselves with the new band name.

In truth the sound is very much the latter day hard rock version of Thin Lizzy, with Scott Gorham leading the guitar line and Ricky Warwick sounding the part.
The mythic Celtic vibe continues on intact - the band's name, and Warwick's vocals plus the songs like the featured two songs make sure of that.
Where do they all belong? This is their debut album. I haven't bothered with others (I bought this one after reading a review in Mojo - it sounded like it would be down my alley).
