Today, legendary US heavy metal outfit RIOT (V) quenches the thirst of fans fervently awaiting the release of their new studio album, Mean Streets, which is due out on April 12th via Atomic Fire Records, with second digital single, “Feel The Fire,” and its companion video. The video was shot in New Jersey by director Tom Flynn (Lamb Of God, Buckcherry) and stars model Liv Walsh.

Bass player Donnie Van Stavern comments, “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. For the lyrics, I wrote about a passionate, aggressive love; a fire-driven relationship within the souls of a man and woman deeply obsessed with one another.”
