Black Space Riders to Release D:REI on Jan. 24
True, they may have started out talking about stoned bikers in space on their 2010 self-titled debut (review here), but by the time they got around to 2012’s Light is the New Black (review here), things became much more complicated. The band’s third album, D:REI, is a double-vinyl and each side is subtitled representing a letter in the acronym title, so I guess it’s probably safe to assume that trend toward complication continues unabated. Fair enough.
“Drei” is also “three” in German, so the name of D:REI works on that level as well. The album is due out Jan. 24, and the band has premiered the track “The God-Survivor” in a new lyric video that accompanied the following announcement on its trip along the PR wire:
New album by BLACK SPACE RIDERS soon
“D:REI”, the new album by Germany´s BLACK SPACE RIDERS is going to be released on 24 january 2014. The album contains almost 80 minutes of new music. The band just shared the coverartwork and the tracklist with their fans.
We have decided to keep our independency and all our rights, meaning the album will be released under our own label BLACK SPACE RECORDS. It will be distributed by Cargo Records Germany and different national distributors and mailorders in other countries as well as by ourselves.
We will play three exclusive record-release-shows in Germany:
24.01.2014 Münster / Gleis 22
