Edited by Anselm Anderson  All-star hard rock collective Black Swan unveil their new single and official video, “Paralyzed”, title track of the upcoming studio album set for release on February 27, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.- The four-piece Meldodic rock band features Robin McAuley ( McAuley Schenker Group ), Reb Beach ( Winger , Whitesnake ), Jeff Pilson ( Foreigner , The End Machine , ex-Dokken ), and Matt Starr ( Ace Frehley , Mr. Big ). Lead vocalist Robin McAuley commented on the release: “Nowadays, it’s difficult not to become submerged in the news and negative comments presented to us through all media sources.

Photo Credit: Chris Griffiths of Riff Photos Interview conducted by Anselm Anderson Good evening, Ross. Congratulations on your latest release, The Blood and the Blues. How has the reception been so far? Ross – Thank you kindly. It’s been good so far. I feel like my music is slow-burning. It may take time to resonate with the right audiences, but when it does, it’s potent. It sits in an in-between place between Blues audiences and fans of darker types of music. The lyrical content can be heavy, uncomfortable at times. It’s art. This makes it slightly niche, I guess. It’s not for everyone, and I am at peace with that. People have come back to my shows, bought the album, and I’m seeing audiences build up all over the UK, so clearly something is working. The album was released in November, providing listeners with a few months to engage with it. Could you elaborate on how the album will connect with your forthcoming UK tour? Ross – The overarching motif of my whole creative process at ...
