Mark Reale started RIOT in 1976 at his home in Brooklyn, New York.
The band recorded their first album "ROCK CITY" in 1977 for Firesign Records.
Capital Records signed the band soon after that, and they entered the studio to record "NARITA" which was released in 1979.
After recording 3 albums with new vocalist, Rhett Forrester, Riot took a two year break.
They joined back up for a reunion tour, before Forrester left completely to be replaced by Tony Moore.
They then recorded "THUNDER STEEL" and "PRIVILEGE OF POWER" on CBS Records.
With their next album "NIGHTBREAKER," their current lineup was formed.
Riot signed with Metal Blade Records in 1997 and recorded their latest album "INISHMORE."
Mark Reale and Riot have maintained a classic metal sound, much to the gratitude of their undying, loyal fans.


Thanks guys.
