Italian hard rock band Speed Stroke will release their fourth studio album, Damage Control, on August 21 via Scarlet Records.

Fans can pre-order and pre-save the album now

Blending the modern sleaze rock energy of Scandinavia with the classic ’80s street metal, Speed Stroke continue to refine their signature sound on Damage Control. The album promises a collection of hard-hitting anthems.

According to the band, the album explores the tension between controlling the damage already done and embracing disruption as a catalyst for change. Through themes of uncertainty, liberation, and transformation, Damage Control challenges listeners to confront the ultimate fight-or-flight dilemma while rejecting the safety of complacency.

The album was mixed and mastered by Erik Mårtensson at Mass Destruction Production. It also features guest appearances from Dario Capacci on drums and Giorgia Colleluori on the track “Blessed By Misery.” The cover artwork was created by acclaimed artist Claudio Elias Scialabba.
