PRESS RELEASE: Today, legendary US heavy metallers RIOT (V) quench the thirst for new tunes of their fans — fervently awaiting the release of their new studio album due »Mean Streets,« which is due out on April 12, 2024 via Atomic Fire Records — by unveiling second digital single, ‘Feel The Fire,’ accompanied by a captivating video which was shot in New Jersey by director Tom Flynn (LAMB OF GOD, BUCKCHERRY etc.) and additionally stars model Liv Walsh.
Bass player Donnie Van Stavern states, “When I wrote the music for ‘Feel The Fire,’ I wanted to bring back the early RIOT rock days musically with a ZEPPELIN/PRIEST kind of vibe. The lyrics I wrote about a passionate, aggressive, love, fire driven relationship within the souls of man and woman deeply obsessed with one another. The video kind of grabs the concept with fire, aggressive lights and of course a hot woman!”

»Mean Streets« contains 12 tracks which were recorded by Bruno Ravel in New Jersey. Ravel also mixed the album while Bart Gabriel took care of its mastering. Artwork was provided by Gyula Havancsák (ACCEPT, STRATOVARIUS, BRAINSTORM etc.) who captured the galloping style of the new material skillfully – without missing the band’s typical seal style, of course.
