Riot is a heavy metal band. Mark Reale wrote everything in the name of metal. You know it’s pure metal when reviews in 1980-81 said that Fire down Below was too heavy. It’s like telling Mozart it’s fast with too many notes. Riot could have been up there with Judas Priest’s popularity had the record company didn’t screw them over. I’m a riot fan since the start to the end. We couldn’t ask for a better replacement on vocals to fill the shoes of the mighty Tony Moore. Todd Michael Hall is supreme. Always liked his vocals since the Jack Starr Burning days. Riot V forever. Not to mention, Riot always had the most innovative and active endings to most of their songs. Love this new track. 🍺
Maybe they’re called riot v because Todd Michael hall is the fifth singer. He follows guy speranza, Rhett forrester, Mike dimeo, and my personal favorite tony Moore.
Been a fan since I stole my sisters narita album at 11 years old! I started playing drums at 12 years olds because of riot and maiden!!! This blows away so many new bands! This is outstanding and truly inspiring! Such killer group of killer musicians! Mark would be so proud and I’m sure he’s rocking out with all of us!!!!!
they dont play the typical metal sound on guitar, they have punch , its hard rock sound playing metal. i love this band since the 80's with the great founder mark reale (RIP)
This will be the 3rd album with Todd on vocals. Awesome band, always have sounded great. First album with Todd they did a video for “TAKE ME BACK” containing now /then photos of band members and fans. My pictures made it in the video. Love this band and this is an absolutely amazing new song. Great review.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Love it 👊! Preorder placed 🤘🤘!!

Killer tune. I love the production, it sounds modern but still has the old-school feel.

Riot first 4 albums is a classics only Riot not Riot V :) but this is a good uptempo melodic heavy/speed metal
