Star Gate

The third full-length release for the hard rock band that includes Thin Lizzy's Ricky Warwick, Scott Gorham, Damon Johnson, and Jimmy DeGrasso, as well ex-Ratt member Robbie Crane, was produced by Nick Raskulinecz. Limited Edition Embossed Digibook CD (inc bonus track) - There's a beautiful purity to the finest rock 'n' roll, a thrilling simplicity in striking an over-amplified guitar chord, a transcendent joy in getting high on just volume, adrenaline and a backbeat. Black Star Riders, lifers in an industry less secure than a secret in a soap opera, understand this, which is why Heavy Fire, the quintet's third album for Nuclear Blast, sounds so fresh and exhilarating and alive. Recorded with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Rush) at Rock Falcon Studio in Franklin, Tennessee, the follow up to BSR's acclaimed 2015 release The Killer Instinct, finds the quintet - frontman Ricky Warwick, guitarists Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson, bassist Robbie Crane and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso - in electric form, crashing through 10 tracks of swaggering, life-affirming hard rock with a shared passion and power both irresistible and inspiring.

A stunning mixture of classics and rarities, 'Lone Star Guitar Attack' encompasses 30 cuts of blistering Texas guitar from the 1950s and early '60s. Features major stars, Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown, Long John Hunter and of course 'The Ice Man' the one and only, Albert Collins. Also herein are many outstanding tracks by lesser known artists such as Peppermint Harris and Goree Carter whose track "Rock Awhile" is one of many singles cited as 'the first rock and roll record' and is also often cited as an influence over Chuck Berry. Also of particular note are the great tracks by Cal Green and his brother Clarence Green whose song "Red Light" ends this fantastic collection.

Composer Jeff Russo said in December 2020 that he was beginning to think about the score for the season, adding, "there's a lot going on there". Russo had begun recording the season's score with an orchestra at the Sony Pictures Scoring Stage by December 2021, and completed recording for the season finale on January 12, 2022. The season features an "up-tempo rearrangement" of the series' main theme. In Thatcher's first appearance as the punk on the bus in The Voyage Home, the character listens to a punk rock song titled "I Hate You" that Thatcher wrote and performed with members of the film's crew. For this season, Thatcher wrote and performed a new song for the character to listen to, titled "I Still Hate You". The Voyage Home sound editors Mark Mangini and Aaron Glascock returned to record the new song, respectively performing guitar and drums. For Ozell's cameo appearance, she and her band perform the song "Take You Down" from her album Overnight Lows. Episode director Joe Menendez chose the song, which Ozell called a "strong, sassy, bluesy powerful anthem".
