Although they're working on the launch of Mean Streets with full throttle, US icons Riot V need to take a redirection until unleashing their new album which is now set to be released on April 12 via Atomic Fire Records, followed by supporting live shows (to be announced next month).

But fans don't have to worry as the band have also - besides album pre-order options - kicked-off the pre-save campaign for second single, "Feel The Fire", which will be available digitally from January 26.

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, who captured the galloping style of the new material skillfully - without missing the band's typical seal style, of course.

Mean Streets will be available in the following formats:

- CD-digipak (EU)
- jewelcase CD (US)
- coloured vinyl [black | "electric blue" (transparent/blue/red-transparent) | yellow/black splatter | "seal white" (white; US-excl.)]
- digital
