New video online!

We have added a new BSR-clip to our YouTube-Channel. The song is called "we used to be in light (exodus part two)" and will be featured on our second album "light is the new black", which is going to be released on the 16th of march 2012. The video was - once again - produced by our very talented friend Blood Meridian. We beg your patience, it's a pretty long track, but definitely worth the trip. Lay back, turn up, enjoy ... see you in SPACE.

New song online!

Alright! I have just been uploading the first advance-track of our upcoming album for you. We have chosen a plain, pushing, fast but "accessible" Rocker to start with called "STARTROOPER". There won't be "the ONE representative song" on the album ... to get the whole idea you will have to listen to the complete album anyway ;) So, start right now, turn it up and enjoy! If you like it leave your comments and share! Thank you. JE
BLACK SPACE RIDERS: Light is the new black
posted by JE
Good news: Our NEW album "Light is the new black" is going to be released on the 16th of march 2012. Back Space Riders will be heavily supported by our partners brainstorm records, Rough Trade Distribution and x-why-z Konzertagentur. We will offer a Deluxe-Vinyl-Double-Album (gatefold sleeve, 180g, PLUS CD, PLUS Bonustrack) and a very nice CD-Digipak-Version. Musically you will find "diversification" on the record: heavy, hard, hypnotic walls of sound change to atmospheric passages, followed by driving rockers and sternomastoid anthems. We recorded three-minute-punch-ups as well as slowly rising and long epics. There is whispering, singing, crooning, screaming and yelling. A one hour trip into the depths of the universe: watch out!

So we should be in pretty good company there ....

New review in "Doom Metal front" (German)
written by Florian Friedrich (Doom Metal Front)
Münster beschert uns mit den Black Space Riders eine erfrischende Space Rock Band, die einem schon beim ersten Hören viel Spaß bereitet. Die Mixtur aus hartem Metal, Stoner Rock und Doom weiß zu überzeugen. Druckvolle Gitarre erzeugen monströse Soundwände, die unerbittlich durch einen wummernden Bass ins Wanken geraten. Mit "Spacebomb" hat man den idealen Opener gewählt, jedoch schickt man damit auch gleich am Anfang das stärkste Pferd ins Rennen. Der funkige Beginn zeigt einmal mehr die musikalische Vielfalt der vier Jungs, bevor dann das Tempo angezogen wird und die Reise in die unendlichen Weiten des Alls beginnen kann. Da oben dürfte es mitunter ganz schön einsam sein, was unter Umständen zu den verrücktesten Ideen führen kann. Bei den Münsteranern äußert sich das zur Mitte der Platte in "Voodoo Spaceship", einer crustigen Punknummer mit Death-Metal-ähnlichen Vocals, mit der nun wirklich niemand gerechnet hätte. Trotz aller Verwunderung, ob denn immer noch das richtige Album im Player ist, lockert der Track auf und sorgt für gute Unterhaltung. Jenseits von derartigen Ausflügen bestimmt ein bluesiger Fuzz-Sound mit jeder Menge Black Sabbath im Blut die 1 3 Tracks, die durch einen abwechslungsreichen Gesang und durch interessante Gitarrensoli überzeugen. Guter Einstand! (FF)

Review: "Classic Rock Magazine" (UK 12/2010)

Black Space Riders - S/T
Sound Guerilla
8
The only problem I ever had with Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction and their duct tape-barbiturates-and-zero-moral-code approach to greaserdelic barbarian fuck-rock was that they weren't from outer space. Well, Germany's own Black Space Riders have ably sutured that gaping plot hole with this remarkable debut. There's a "Total vision" at work here - it's a concept album, with suites and trilogies, instrumentals and spoken word passages, and all of it, every last second, is about...riding through black space.
Musically, BSR zoom deftly between Hawkwind-y space-prog and Zod-like used-leather thunder with the odd dash of down-tuned grunge and dollops of thick, greasy acid-funk. The band's Teutonic stoicism - even when belting out cartoonish hellraiser anthems like "Stoned Bikers in Space" and "Ride On, Black Space Rider" only compounds the delightful absurdity/awesomeness of it all. A full-tilt gonzo piece of work, Black Space Rider is easily my favorite record of the year - the year being 2069, of course.
Chiunque segua la corrente stoner non può non ascoltare "Black Space Riders", ragazzi fatelo vostro, c'è solo da fottersi piacevolmente con musica così
