Recorded at Sphere Studios in Burbank, California with acclaimed producer Jay Ruston (Stone Sour, Anthrax, Uriah Heep), ‘Another State of Grace’ is the first Black Star Riders long-player to feature drummer Chad Szeliga, who joined the band in 2017 following the departure of Jimmy DeGrasso, and Stone Sour’s Christian Martucci on lead guitar, who replaced Damon Johnson in December.

Singer Ricky Warwick enthuses: "I’m absolutely thrilled to be back with a brand new Black Star Riders album. In my honest opinion this is the best record the band has made! This is Christian and Chad’s first album with the band and they have brought a fantastic energy and vibe.”

Scott Gorham adds: "It was great to be back in Los Angeles and recording with Jay Ruston was an absolute pleasure.  I am excited to see everyone’s reactions to this amazing record … and I can’t wait to get back on the road and play you these new songs!”
