Ricky Warwick releases new single ‘Angels Of Desolation’ ahead of tour

Ricky Warwick, one of rock’s most compelling voices and frontman of The Almighty, Black Star Riders and Thin Lizzy, has returned with his powerful new single ‘Angels of Desolation’, which features Tuk Smith from Biters on backing vocals.
 
The video sees Ricky joined by The Fighting Hearts who are Ben Christo – guitar, Richard Vernon – bass and Jack Taylor – drums.

The track is taken from his recently released album Blood Ties and is a soul-baring and anthemic track, which perfectly sets the stage for his upcoming UK tour with The Fighting Hearts in September.
 
Ricky says, “Angels Of Desolation is a song of personal redemption. Finally calling out and confronting the demons of regret and resentment. It’s not about seeing the whole journey, but taking the first step on a new path of change.”

The track blends raw honesty with heavy melody — the kind of emotionally charged songwriting that has become Ricky’s signature. Coated in grit and delivered with conviction, the single carves a new space in his growing legacy of honest, unflinching rock‘n’roll.
 
The single is taken from Ricky’s latest studio album Blood Ties, which is his most successful solo album to date earning a place in the Top 25 official UK album charts earlier this year, as well as receiving a wealth of praise from media and fans alike. You can order the album here.

The album features the singles ‘Rise & Grind’, which features Charlie Starr on lead guitar, the bittersweet, ‘The Crickets Stayed In Clovis and ‘Don’t Leave Me In The Dark’ which sees legendary The Runaways guitarist & famed solo artist Lita Ford joining on vocal duties.
