Black Star Riders will enter the studio in Dublin, Ireland in October to start recording the follow-up to 2013's "All Hell Breaks Loose" with Elliott and Def Leppard engineer Ronan McHugh.

"Joe Elliott's passion, enthusiasm for music, as a fan, artist and friend is unquestionable and Ronan McHugh is a phenomenal engineer," says singer Ricky Warwick. "Personally having worked with these guys before, it was a no brainer when they said they would like to produce the new BSR album. We are confident that this will be a huge leap forward in the evolution of BSR."
