Riot V – Armor Of Light

7/10

Mark Reale was the founder of the band Riot. He died in January 2012 and after that the band changed the name to Riot V. The new album “Armor Of Light” is the second album under the name Riot V and it’s a pretty good one as well. One of the best albums in the genre Power Metal is “Thundersteel” who was released back in 1988. This is not as good as “Thundersteel” but I think Riot V doing a damn good job on the new album. It starts with a bang on the opener “Victory” and it’s gettin’ even better when “”End Of The World” sounding out from the speakers. What a killer.

In some way Riot V sounds a lot like they did in the late 80’s but in another way you can tell they have been taking their Power Metal to a level that make this music suitable 2018. “Heart Of A Lion” is pure Riot and the titletrack along with “San Antonio” makes me happy when I’m listening to it. I believe this is one of the albums who will make it to the top ten when I make my summary in december. For all of you out there who love Heavy Metal I recommend this album from now.
