Black Space Riders - Discography

In 2010 The Self-Titled Debut-Album Was Released. "Black Space Riders" Triggered Enthusiastic
Reviews Around The Globe And The Band Played A Run Of Sweaty Shows In Europe.

In 2012 The Band Released It´s Second Album "Light Is The New Black". It Showed Even More
Influences And Variety Than The Debut And Brought The Band Many New Followers Around The Globe.

The Following Shows In 2012/13 Featured A New Bandmember: Seb, Who Had Contributed Additional
Background-Vocals To "Light Is The New Black" Was Presented As A Second Lead-Vocalist.

Now "D:Rei" Has Finally Arrived! On The New Opus Black Space Riders Are Even More Colorful, Louder,
Softer, Harder, Atmospheric, Gripping, And Above All Exalted!
D:Rei Is An Exciting Journey Through Rock, Metal And Psychedelia; The Soundtrack To Your Very Own
Sci-Fi Epic.
The Riffs Are Heavy, Inspiring And Enduring. The Songwriting Is Classic, The Arrangements Full Of
Devotion. The Two Lead Vocalists Play Off Each Other Without Seam, Interlocking And Assuring That
The Music Will Lodge In Your Memory.
D:Rei Is Groovy! Sometimes Slowly Dooming, Sometimes Oppressively Rocking, Then Irresistibly
Funky...And Suddenly You Are Dancing Around The Warp Core.
And It Is All Wrapped Up In A Sound That Is Natural, Transparent, Open, Yet Powerful, And Elegant,
As It Timelessly Circumnavigates The Retro-Trap.
Black Space Riders Have Travelled Further Than Ever Before And Want You To Join The Trip!

Fourth Album, Refugeeum, As In "Refugees" As Well As In "Refuge". Deeply Moved By What Is Currently
Happening On This Planet, The Band Has Left Its Orbital Wanderings At Least Thematically And Turned
Instead To An Earthly, Eternal Issue, One That Is, Sadly, Very Topical Again: Flight And Expulsion
- Loss Of Home - Profound Sorrow – The Will To Survive - Hope For What May Come - Hunted And Hunter
- Victim And Perpetrator - Acceptance And Rejection.

Compared To The Band’s Internationally Acclaimed Previous Album "D:Rei", Refugeeum, With Its Nine
Songs And About An Hour’s Playing Time, Is Almost Compact.

The Band Has Managed To Evolve Its Style And Give Space To What It Likes, While Also Respecting Its
Roots.
Refugeeum Is Profound Both Lyrically And Musically. The Whole Album Is Pervaded By A Sublime And
Uplifting Atmosphere That Oscillates Between Dreamy And Gripping, Sadness And Hope, Longing And
Pursuit.

The Songs Are Complex, Yet Catchy, And Continue To Resonate For A Long Time After Listening. The
Two Lead Singers, Je And Seb, Work In Harmony In Expression, Feeling And Versatility. The Guitars
Dare To Even Greater Openness And Clarity. In Every Song, There Are Exciting, And At The Same Time
Often Unexpected, Grooves, A Rich Bass Foundation, And A Drumming That Develops And Drives The
Song.

The Band Has Expanded Its Original Fat Riff And Space Cosmos To Encompass Anthemic And Melodic Lead
Guitars. It Integrates Playful Beats, And Trip-Hop, Dub, And New Wave Elements. This Makes
Refugeeum Exciting And Varied.

An Album That’s Like A Journey. Varied And Yet Fluent, A Unified Whole. An Album That Also Takes A
Stance. Refugeeum Sounds Great, Has Something To Say, Is Moving, And Also Great To Listen To!
