“Glorious Breakdown” is the first single taken from the new Speed Stroke album “Damage Control” to be released on August 21 by Scarlet Records – hitting rock bottom and finally freeing yourself from the shackles of sanity is exactly when the gears of liberation start to turn. Reaching that ultimate breaking point could take the smallest inconvenience, or just another episode of bad luck stalking you. It is that one last drop of gasoline that ignites your inner Destructomania, a chaotic explosion that exorcises all built-up frustrations and finally makes you feel glorious in the wreckage

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 80s 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.
