June 4, 2009 - RIOT in Japan! Tokyo & Osaka shows confirmed! NEW video footage posted!
It's ON! RIOT will be going back to Japan this fall for a total of 3 shows in late October. We have just confirmed 2 shows at Club Citta in Tokyo (click HERE for info) and another one at Shangri-La in Osaka (click HERE for info); see 'Upcoming Shows' above for exact dates! Needless to say, we're excited to once again have the opportunity to play for our Japanese fans who've been so supportive over the years. This particular line-up only made it to Japan once before so this will be extra special for both us and the fans. See you soon!
Also, check out the latest piece of video footage from our recent writing session in San Antonio and subscribe to the Official RIOT YouTube Channel by clicking HERE.
May 1, 2009 - Warm-up show date confirmed! RIOT YouTube channel launched! Writing for a new album!
So far, so good, people. We've just concluded our first writing session as a band in almost 20 years and we're happy to say that it was a very productive get-together. After exchanging musical ideas long distance for the past few months, Mark and Mike recently joined Don and Bobby down in San Antonio, Texas where many RIOT songs have been written over the course of the last quarter century, including much of 'The Privilege of Power.' Getting together in the same room was a lot like getting back on the bike - it felt very natural and the chemistry between us was back in an instant.
"The material that Bobby and I have been writing sounds like the follow-up to 'Thundersteel' and TPOP; it's like we never missed a beat!", states Don. "The new stuff is in the same vein except even more intense! I describe it as "'Thundersteel' on crack!."
Intially, we were hoping to come up with 6 or 7 tunes and ended up with over a dozen really strong song ideas we'll be developing beyond the demo stage. The next step is for Tony and Mark to work on melodies and lyrics. Says Tony: "Don, Bobby, Mark and Mike have sent me some incredibly rich and challenging instrumentals, and while I'm practicing day and night to rebuild 'the Voice of Steel', I'm also looking deep inside to find stories that will do justice to this inspiring new music. I'll tell you this much - right now it sounds like what you would expect if the five of us had kept progressing together the whole time. It's intense music and promises to be a tour de force that runs the whole gamut of what Metal can do. I've set expectations pretty high, but this band has never settled for less. I can't wait to share the new songs with our true fans who've waited as long as we have for this to happen."
Mark had this to say: "I'm definitely having fun putting myself back into the type of mindset we were in as a band when we created 'Thundersteel' and 'The Privilege of Power.' The five of us working together - Don's crazy riffs, Bobby's insane drumming, Tony's soaring vocals, and having the luxury of Mike's second guitar this time around - makes for a unique collaboration."
We are all excited about going into the studio to record this album, which will get under way over the summer. We've had the video camera running throughout this writing session and will get some footage up soon. Until then we thought it would be cool to start off our YouTube channel OfficialRiotNYCTV with a rare live clip of the song 'Fight Or Fall.' This footage was recorded in Tokyo, Japan on the 'Thundersteel' tour in 1989. It was our first time there and is a great memory for all of us.
RIOT 1990: Mark Reale * Don Van Stavern * Tony Moore * Bobby Jarzombek * Mike Flyntz
"'Thundersteel' has everything that makes metal great.”
- All Music Guide
After initial success in the early 80’s, iconoclastic metal band RIOT rose from the ashes after a few years of silence to release THUNDERSTEEL (CBS 1988), an album that would become as celebrated as the new line-up that spawned it: Mark Reale (guitars), Tony Moore (vocals), Don Van Stavern (bass), Bobby Jarzombek (drums), and Mike Flyntz (guitars) who joined the group during RIOT's first triumphant THUNDERSTEEL Tour of Japan.
Their follow-up release, THE PRIVILEGE OF POWER (CBS 1990), flexed RIOT’s creative and metal muscles even further, cementing renewed fan interest around the world, particularly in Europe and Japan. In the ensuing years, the THUNDERSTEEL line-up became near-legendary in the metal canon. They were hailed as “the bridge between Priest and speed metal” and have been heralded as an influence by many, including Hammerfall who cover RIOT’s “Flight Of The Warrior” off THUNDERSTEEL on their new CD, 'Masterpieces.'
With Reale, Moore, Van Stavern, Jarzombek, and Flyntz joining forces once again for the first in some 20 years, the RIOT saga adds another exciting chapter, with European audiences set to experience the power of the THUNDERSTEEL constellation for at first time ever and a tour of Japan confirmed for the fall. But perhaps most importantly, RIOT are eager to prove their mettle and continued vitality with a new album which is set to get under way or the summer and tentatively scheduled for a late 2009 release.
