Mark Reale (Riot) has passed away.

Terrible news. I can't believe it, the band just reunited to release an incredible album.

A dignify swan song for a great musician.

Rest in peace Mark

Cannot express the sadness for Mark's passing...
We've just lost a great and very underappreciated musician, my deepest condolences to his family and bandmates.

RIP ... Riot was always one of my fave bands. Fire Down Under and Thundersteel will always have a special place with me.

RIP Mark Reale of Riot. Fire Down Under, Thundersteel and especially Privilege of Power have long been favorite power metal albums of mine. Such an immensely talented guitarist, songwriter and one of the fathers of power metal. He will be missed.
