Riot V have announced their new album, Mean Streets, is scheduled to arrive on February 16, 2024, via Atomic Fire Records. To accompany the album announcement, the group has shared a video for the record’s first single, “High Noon.”
Bassist Donnie Van Stavern comments:
“We are extremely excited to release our seventeenth RIOT record, Mean Streets, with the mighty Atomic Fire Records label! We went back to the roots a bit on this one with some hard rockers and of course power metal stylings. Our new pre-release lyric video ‘High Noon’ is a song I wrote with [late founding guitarist] Mark Reale in mind; he loved the Old West and wrote songs about it as well (‘Restless Breed,’ ‘Gunfighter’) and the music is a reminiscence of Thundersteel and The Privilege Of Power! Enjoy, metal warriors, more awesomeness is on the way!”
Vocalist Todd Michael Hall adds:
“I’m really excited for the people to hear Mean Streets. We are evolving well with one foot rooted in the past and one foot pointing towards the future.”
