Black Star Riders - Wrong Side Of Paradise (2023) LP

Wrong Side of Paradise is the fifth studio album by hard rock band Black Star Riders, released on January 20, 2023. Black Star Riders evolved from the touring version of Thin Lizzy, assembled by guitarist Scott Gorham after the death of Thin Lizzy's leader Phil Lynott. The band's first four albums, All Hell Breaks Loose, The Killer Instinct, Heavy Fire, and Another State of Grace, were released in 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 respectively. It is the first Black Star Riders album to feature drummer Zak St John, and the last to feature guitarist/songwriter Christian Martucci. It is the first to be recorded without founder member Scott Gorham.

Warwick said of the new album: "I am very proud of this record, Black Star Riders fifth release and the first with our new and exciting relationship with Earache Records. As with all BSR albums, "Wrong Side Of Paradise" is an anthemic statement of intent, driven by ferocious guitars and thundering drums. I can only write about my own personal experiences, my families, my friends and how I see a world that is unravelling and changing faster than we can comprehend. That being said, I’m a firm believer in the power of positivity, something that echoes throughout this album."
