│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If ever there was a band that deserved much more ║ │
│║ recognition and praise for their contribution to ║ │
│║ heavy metal, it's RIOT. Originally formed by the ║ │
│║ late, great Mark Reale in 1975, the New Yorkers ║ │
│║ were an omnipresent force for hard rocking ║ │
│║ excellence for the best part of 40 years, before ║ │
│║ their leader's untimely passing in 2012. Outside ║ │
│║ of the US, RIOT have remained more of a cult ║ │
│║ concern, but their rebirth as RIOT V has been an ║ │
│║ unqualified success. Both 2014's "Unleash the ║ │
│║ Fire" and its 2018 follow-up "Armor of Light" ║ │
│║ were justifiably well-received; Reale's original ║ │
│║ template for blazing, traditional metal plainly ║ │
│║ in safe hands with longtime co-guitarist Mike ║ │
│║ Flyntz and bassist Don Van Stavern still on ║ │
│║ board. Vocalist Todd Michael Hall has been a ║ │
│║ huge asset, too, and it's his commanding ║ │
│║ presence and unfussy charisma that provide the ║ │
│║ glue that holds "Live In Japan 2018" together. ║ │
│║ Both a celebration of RIOT's formidable ║ │
│║ catalogue and a blustery reassertion of musical ║ │
│║ values under the RIOT V banner, this has a real ║ │
│║ milestone feel about it, even before you peruse ║ │
│║ the frankly mind-boggling track listing. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In sonic terms, "Live In Japan 2018" sounds as ║ │
│║ thunderous, precise and vibrant as you could ║ │
│║ wish from a modern live metal record. Part of ║ │
│║ the brilliance of RIOT's evolution over the ║ │
│║ years was in the way changes in songwriting ║ │
│║ style and new trends in production never seemed ║ │
│║ to undermine the band's core sound and unerring ║ │
│║ dedication to balls-out heavy metal. Here, the ║ │
│║ fact that 30 years separates the composition of ║ │
│║ classic anthem "Swords and Tequila" and latter- ║ │
│║ day ballad "Wings Are for Angels" (originally ║ │
│║ from 2011's "Immortal Soul", Reale's final RIOT ║ │
│║ album) is rendered meaningless, because RIOT V ║ │
│║ play it all with the same electrified vigor, ║ │
│║ simultaneously contemporary and old school, each ║ │
│║ with equal conviction. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ At 110 minutes in length, this is plainly not ║ │
│║ aimed at casual fans, but as a one-stop shop for ║ │
│║ all your RIOT needs, "Live In Japan 2018" is ║ │
│║ pretty much unbeatable, not least due to a ║ │
│║ complete performance of 1988's classic ║ │
│║ "Thundersteel" album. From the absurdly ║ │
│║ thrilling speed metal fury of the title track to ║ │
│║ the dark emotional crescendo of "Buried Alive ║ │
│║ (Tell Tale Heart)", "Thundersteel" is one of the ║ │
│║ '80s great American metal albums; a timeless ║ │
│║ masterpiece that RIOT V play like men possessed, ║ │
│║ propelled breathlessly forward by Todd Michael ║ │
│║ Hall's note-perfect performance. As an ageing ║ │
│║ metalhead who still owns a slightly battered ║ │
│║ copy of "Thundersteel" on vinyl, it's impossible ║ │
│║ not to grin during the likes of "Sign of the ║ │
│║ Crimson Storm" and the Japanese crowd clearly ║ │
│║ loved every second of it, too. Quite rightly, ║ │
│║ "Flight of the Warrior" turns into a rowdy ║ │
│║ singalong. This is ageless, virtuoso stuff. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Genuinely great live albums are few and far ║ │
│║ between these days, but "Live In Japan 2018" ║ │
│║ makes the grade on every level. For older fans, ║ │
│║ it's a timely reminder that the greatest metal ║ │
│║ never gets old. For everyone else, it's a ║ │
│║ stirring and substantial introduction to one of ║ │
│║ the greatest American heavy metal bands of all- ║ │
│║ time. Somehow, perhaps against the odds ║ │
│║ considering the age of those involved, it's ║ │
│║ genuinely exciting. To borrow a phrase from ║ │
│║ final encore "Warrior", long may RIOT V "ride on ║ │
│║ with strength and will." It sounds like they're ║ │
│║ having a blast doing just that. Mark Reale would ║ │
│║ be proud. ║ │
