RIOT
HISTORY
|
Been born in the '75 on
initiative of the guitarist italo-American Mark Reale, the group, however,
public a first disk auto-produced in 1977 in France. It deals with Rock CITY,
an interesting platter, the distribution amatorial, ago yes that the group
for a certain period a cult remains for little. The perseverance of Reality
and partners ago him how first the Attic and then the Ariola interests him in
them. The succession of the Riot increases, and the Capitol offers them a
contract, which a turnée of shoulder is added to Sammy Hagar. Everything
seems to go for the best, if not that, despite the good criticisms of the
according to LP of the band, NARITA, the Capitol pretends from them a swerve
toward the melodic Rock. The Rs, already ensigns of a style terremotante and
ultra-heavy, they refuse, they change label and with the Elektra, they record
their masterpiece FIRE DOWN UNDER. Other changes of personnel and a fourth
disk not too much interesting they kill the group. Inevitable breakup, five
years of break and then Real it decides to return on the scenes. The disk of
the as back THUNDER STEEL, is excellent, as soon as a step under the best
productions of the 'old' R but the two following I am as soon as enough. The
return in scene in 88 has given back life to Mark Reale continuing to publish
disks of good quality and after a nice album what 'Inishmore' here is to go
out 'Sons of society', more coherent and compact, where every song even
though not more heavy as their best period he allows to listen with interest
mirroring the honesty of the band and their love for our darlings and beloved
tools guitar, lower part and battery and the whole passion that practice on
them. |
