Riot

Perhaps the most underrated and unfortunate metal band of all time. Six impeccable albums in a row, plus a turning point that keeps them at very high peaks. Guitarist Reale is undoubtedly among the best ever in the genre: after all, he not only anticipates Heavy, but also Power (Thundersteel is from '88, but the single comes from a demo from '84), not to mention his tremendous ability to combine significant technical skills with outstanding taste... definitive.

Riot

Riot is an American heavy/power metal band formed in New York City in 1975 by guitarist Mark Reale. Revered as pioneers who bridged hard rock, speed, and early US power metal, they issued classics such as Rock City, Narita, Fire Down Under, and Thundersteel. After Reale’s death on January 25, 2012 due to complications related to Crohn’s disease, the group continued as Riot V, releasing Unleash the Fire in 2014. Their bulldog-seal mascot Johnny has long fronted their album art.
