Heavy fire

"When a record like Heavy Fire comes along, one created by veterans with a solid foundation that offers both solid tunes and room for growth, that's when you can begin taking serious heed of anyone braying about rock 'n' roll's enduring life force, something to which the album greatly contributes".

"På bandets tredje album fortsætter Black Star Riders med at imponere med endnu en række hard rock-træffere ... Hvis man endelig skulle ønske sig mere af 'Heavy Fire', så skulle det lige være et par ordentlige overraskelser eller et rigtig uimodståeligt hit. 'Heavy Fire' skiller sig således ikke for alvor ud fra bandets to første album, og det er samtidig svært at argumentere for, at sangene er bedre end på forgængerne. Men niveauet er fortsat meget højt".

"What began as an extension of post-Phil Lynott-era Thin Lizzy has become something far more nuanced, and with three solid studio albums now in their rear-view mirror, it would seem that Black Star Riders have successfully managed to embrace the past without losing themselves in it".
