Black Star Riders have announced that their new album The Killer Instinct will be released on 23rd February via Nuclear Blast Records. This will be the follow up to the very well received All Hell Breaks Loose back in 2013. Front man Ricky Warwick had the following to say on the imminent release: "Life's not fair, never has been, never will. Sometimes you have to live with a killer instinct just to survive in the ongoing pursuit of happiness. Because nobody can do for you what you should be doing for yourself" - so yeah, there you have it.
