Do you know what “a bulldozer through the soul” feels like? Have you ever caused a sonic death blast without knowing it? Black Star Riders guitarist Damon Johnson and vocalist/lyricist Ricky Warwick sure as hell do. These two topics, discussed alongside the tales of support from their parents, their youth in their respective hometown communities, and their first bands, have been captured in Part 2 of the Nuclear Blast Artist Profile Series.
