Unfortunately the sad news, spreading the web pretty fast during the last hours, are true, here is the official confirmation from the band, which was quickly posted to keep the fans updated, whilst on the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise with only limited web access. "To friends and fans of Mark...

Thank you guys!! Latest news from the RIOT camp: Due to complications arising from treatment for Mark's illness, he remains hospitalized in San Antonio and will not be healthy enough to appear as scheduled. Mike, Tony, Bobby and Don have, at the strong urging of Mark's family, decided to...

And another one for being one of the best albums 2011 http://www.metal-rules.com/zine/content/view/2417/85/ This album has everything, melody, speed, power and top-notch performances. Reale hasn’t shredded like this in years. Moore has not, I repeat, not lost any of his vocal range and...

http://myglobalmind.com/2012/01/08/the-best-metal-albums-of-2011-list-2/ One of the best traditional metal albums I heard all year, yes even better then the new album by Hell. Thundersteel line-up of Reale, Moore, Stavern, Jarzombek and Flyntz reunited and it feels so good

The Boys are Back in Town: Riot Returns with Immortal Soul (2011) Maiden and Priest - start taking notes. This is how you do heavy metal, instead of overly boring and drawn out pretentious "creativity" you both committed to recording for your last albums....Most surprising, however, is how good...

And here are some PR polls: Top 20 album of 2011 - right next to Motörhead and Saxon! http://rockchoice.com/rockchoice-top-20-hard-rock-and-metal-albums-for-2011/ Best Metal Come Back http://www.powerlinemag.com/2012/01/04/powerlines-best-of-2011-list/

This is a strong album and well worth owning if you’re a fan of that era of the band’s music. Bobby Jarzombek shows off his amazing skills as expected. That guy is awesome, period. The guitar work is really good, some of the best I’ve ever heard from Reale. I assume that...

It’s without a doubt an album that “goes to eleven.” The riffs are speedier, the rhythms heavier, the solos more intricate, and Moore goes from a steady midrange to stratospheric highs left and right..... If you’re a Riot fan, there’s really no getting around this...
