Album Stream: Black Space Riders – Beyond Refugeeum

German riff masters Black Space Riders are streaming their forthcoming album Beyond Refugeeum out May 13, 2016 via BSR/Cargo below.

Vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist JE discussed the idea behind the EP:

“We had deliberately kept back four songs, all original recordings, from the Refugeeum sessions in order to release them separately from the album because – as the cover artwork already may suggest – the material is different to the songs on Refugeeum. It’s unlike what you might expect from this band. But you can still tell that it comes logically and quite unmistakably from the BLACK SPACE RIDERS. The songs are exalted, sometimes overwrought, vivid, and yet accessible. Much has happened in Europe and in the world since these songs were written at the end of 2014 and recorded in early 2015, but they seem to be even more contemporary and necessary than ever.”
