Austin heavy metal band Mean Mistreater has unveiled their latest track, Walk With Fire, premiering now on the Nwothmfullalbums YouTube channel. This marks the third single from their highly anticipated sophomore album, Do or Die, slated for international release on February 21st through Dying Victims Productions.

Riding the momentum of their acclaimed debut, Razor Wire—initially self-released in early 2023 before gaining international distribution through Dying Victims later that summer—Mean Mistreater returns with their second full-length album, Do or Die. Their debut was a bold statement of intent, blending raw power with refined execution. Refusing to be boxed in by labels like “female-fronted” or “NWOTHM,” the band asserts itself as a force unto itself, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional heavy metal. With a fierce attitude and undeniable talent, they continue to carve out their own space in the ever-expanding metal scene.

On Do or Die, Mean Mistreater stays true to their core sound—classic heavy metal infused with retro hard rock—drawing inspiration from Warlock, Chastain, and early W.A.S.P. But this time, their delivery is more intense than ever. Urgent and passionate, they charge forward like street-walking cheetahs with hearts full of napalm, unleashing a relentless barrage of anthems. The album’s concise runtime—eight songs in just 27 minutes—doesn’t sacrifice depth; instead, it distills their energy into a pure, electrifying experience.

With Do or Die, Mean Mistreater proves they’re no fleeting phenomenon. Building on their early success, they continue to deliver the fierce, exhilarating sound that fans crave, solidifying their place in the heavy metal landscape while leaving audiences hungry for more.
