MEAN STREAK
DECLARATION OF WAR

BRAND NEW ALBUM FROM CLASSIC SOUNDING NWOBHM INFLUENCED SWEDES PRODUCED BY THE LEGENDARY FREDRIK NORDSTROM
Mean Streaks debut album "Metal Slave" (released in 2009 in Europe & US by Black Lodge, released 2010 in Japan through Bickee Music) caused a big stir in the world of metal with their 80´s influenced heavy metal. Rewarded with amazing reviews (8/10 Rock Hard, 89/100 Burrn Magazine), the band started to get a lot of airplay, including getting a couple of songs aired on Iron Maiden-frontman Bruce Dickinsons show on BBC 6. Playing a lot of shows after the album release brought the band together as a very solid and tight live-combo. In January 2011, Mean Streak declare war. The band´s new album "Declaration Of War" is the first one to feature new lead guitarists Patrik Gardberg (Solution 45, Ammotrack, Divinefire) & David Andersson (Soilwork, Bjorn Strid). The epic songwriting by founder/bassplayer Peter Andersson & vocalist Andy LaGuerin combined with the mind blowing twin guitar assault gives you an album that takes their classic NWOBHM-sound to an even higher level than before. The 11 brand new tracks on "Declaration Of War" contain all the classic trademarks of an 80´s style record with breathtaking vocals & skilful musicianship all wrapped together in a very strong and modern-sounding production. "Declaration Of War" was recorded at Downland Studio by Peter Andersson. Once again Fredrik Nordstrom, world famous for his work with In Flames & Hammerfall among others, was hired to mix the album. Mean Streak will tour extensively during 2011 with shows already booked in Japan in January. They will hit Europe during spring/summer, dates will be presented in the near future.
