Bavarian heavy metal band STREET JUSTICE have completed preparations for their debut studio album "Rules Are For Suckers". The album will be released via Dying Victims Productions on October 23 in CD and vinyl formats, with the new track 'Lethal Strike' now available for listeners.

STREET JUSTICE emerged after founding members Pawel Nemkovic and Axel Warrior embarked on a new musical journey following the breakup of their previous band SAVAGE. SAVAGE had attracted attention within underground heavy metal circles with their "Glory Riders" album and preceding EP release. With STREET JUSTICE, the musicians continue along a similar path while embracing a harsher, dirtier, and more traditional heavy metal approach.

"Rules Are For Suckers" takes the band’s influences from the 1980s Los Angeles heavy metal scene and carries them into the present day. While traces of classic W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, and early Van Halen can be heard throughout the album, STREET JUSTICE reinterpret this legacy with a sleazier and more aggressive sound. The band establishes its own identity through riff structures, strong melodies, and memorable hooks that particularly recall the late ’80s era of L.A. Guns.

One of the album’s notable moments is the heavy metal interpretation of Tina Turner’s 'One of the Living', originally featured in the film "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". Through this cover, STREET JUSTICE further reinforces the dystopian and desert-like atmosphere that runs throughout the record. Across its nine tracks, powerful riffs and expansive sonic landscapes complement the band’s vision of a dark future.

During the recording process of "Rules Are For Suckers", the album gained a more powerful and full-bodied sound through production work with Sergej Dukart from Tyran. Drum recordings were handled by Tobias Kasper of Surturian. Following the later addition of Marcel Riedel as the band’s permanent drummer, STREET JUSTICE will continue their live activities with their new lineup.

The album’s new track 'Lethal Strike' was premiered through Deaf Forever.
