US power metal legends RIOT (V) are more than just back! Celebrating the release of their highly praised new album, "Mean Streets," the group took the European stages -- including a co-headlining performance at Germany's Rock Hard Festival -- by storm earlier this month. Besides catapulting the band into the German album chart once again (this time at no. 35), RIOT (V) could even enter the Swiss (#23) and Austrian (#59) sales chart, marking their very first entries in both countries.

Bass player Don Van Stavern rejoices, "Tequila cheers, metal warriors! We would like to thank you for the amazing response for the new album "Mean Streets"! It means a lot being that it's our 17th album and 50th anniversary next year and you guys are still with us and supporting the legacy! This means the world to us and by world we mean all the great countries that have been supportive and we send lots of love and we are coming to RIOT for you in November! "Mean Streets" part II tour! Shine on!"

"Mean Streets" was 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.
