Ordered!

"Thunder And Steel Down Under", the first-ever RIOT tribute album, will be released on April 24 via Skol Records. The compilation was produced by Bart Gabriel (SACRED STEEL, CRYSTAL VIPER, JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR) and includes RIOT classics performed by such artists as AXEL RUDI PELL, CRYSTAL VIPER, ATTACKER, ALPHA TIGER, OCTOBER 31, SAVAGE MASTER, NIGHT DEMON, DEXTER WARD and others. The CD will be limited to only 1,000 copies worldwide. Proceeds from album sales will be donated to Tony Reale — father of the late RIOT guitarist and founding member Mark Reale.

RIOT is one of the heavy rock innovators in America. Their albums "Fire Down Under", "Rock City", "Narita", "Restless Breed" and "Born In America" are considered to be heavy metal classics, and their 1988 LP, "Thundersteel", helped shape a genre which is now known as power metal.

RIOT's history has been marked by several tragic events: Rhett Forrester, who fronted RIOT between 1981 and 1986, was killed in 1994; the original vocalist Guy Speranza (in RIOT between 1975 and 1981) lost his battle with cancer in 2003; and Mark Reale (who was also the only one constant RIOT member since the beginning of the band) died in 2012 of complications related to Crohn's disease.

RIOT made 14 studio albums, and after Mark Reale's death, remaining RIOT members decided to continue his legacy and, after changing the name to RIOT V, returned with phenomenal album titled "Unleash The Fire".

"Thunder And Steel Down Under" is not a usual compilation with bunch of cover songs. It's a celebration of the RIOT and Mark Reale legacies, and a homage paid by both American and European bands and musicians who were influenced by this premier act.

The Riot tribute cd is pretty cool. I got copies last week. I will have copies in the webshop on May 15 for order if anyone is interested.

I think I'd have to sample some of the tracks. I'm not a fan of covers usually unless they take the song in a new direction. If they're all direct covers, I'll probably pass.
