For those unaware, Speed Stroke master the art of hard rock through a personal approach that perfectly blends the Scandinavian sleaze rock modern edge and the glorious legacy of the 80’s street metal scene.

Top-notch songwriting, hit after hit, all killers-no fillers: that’s the recipe for a proper collection of hard-hitting and yet melodic tunes.

Control the damage done to contain it or inflict controlled damage to break the chains of comfortable stasis? This is the question Damage Control sparks in the listener, delivered through a hurricane of dynamite-like riffs, jaw-breaking solos, and raw screams of rage and liberation.

By both glorifying the panic of the unknown and demonizing the safety of the comfort zone, the new Speed Stroke album presents the ultimate fight-or-flight dilemma, fueling the fire of change.

1. Glorious Breakdown
2. Heart Of The City
3. Damage Control
4. State Of Shock
5. Italian Coglione
6. In Flames
7. Blessed By Misery
8. All For The Weak End
9. Walls
10. Chain Reaction

Their over the top symphonia of hard rock opens on the thunderously brilliant Glorious Breakdown and then comes the Snake-esque Heart Of The City, the titular strident rocker Damage Control, and both the melodic State Of Shock and the resiliently engaging rocker Italian Coglione.

Along next is the anthemic In Flames and that is in turn brilliantly followed by the smooth blues rock guitar magnificence that drives Blessed By Misery, the fist-clenched All For The Weak End, the new set rounding out on the searing Walls, coming to a rousing close on the 80s’s-imbibed AOR of Chain Reaction.
