    Album Notes
    "I was born on these streets, years ago/I was the king of the neighborhood," sings vocalist Tony Moore during "Bloodstreets." Such a line probably revealed the sentiment of guitarist Mark Reale perfectly, and it also encapsulates the mood of Thundersteel. A comeback album after several years of inactivity, this 1988 album is an unheralded classic. The disc takes cues from everything that was metal at the time, combining classic European styles reminiscent of Judas Priest's heavier moments (a premonition for Painkiller), thrashing guitars and pounding percussion indicative of the then-burgeoning underground thrash movement (it's got more riffs than Anthrax ever had), and undertones of the hair metal that was riding the charts at the time (especially in appearance) into a cohesive moment of refined ferocity. Perhaps it was this diversity that doomed the record to commercial failure at the time of its release, or even the abundance of dexterous musical histrionics that at times overwhelm Thundersteel (it was well-received in Japan and other areas where techno-metal always had a sizable audience). Regardless, Thundersteel has everything that makes metal great in all its overstated glory, making the disc an unappreciated classic. ~ Brian O'Neill

    unreal heavy metal album even though it was release quite a while back bands today and rockers would be wise to take note of this band, they have always been overlooked and underrated, way good players all of them and Mark Reale is the premier metal guitarist, just overlokked and under rated has been for years, the drummer on this album,robbie the zombie jarzombeck is incredible and had been with the band for quite a few albums, way good drummer real fast real articulate, in all reality this album, and riots first album for that matter, were way ahead of thier time and lost in the heavy metal scrap heap,and that is really too bad,because all some one needs to do is listen to any of thier albums, even the stuff released latey, yes Riot is still around, and you will find an incredible metal that is tight, talented very diverse and way overlooked and under rated a true diamond in the metal world too bad they never had the exposure they truely deserved as ther are many bands muych more popular or famous that couldnt carry Riots stage equipment, Narita, Rock City, fire down under, through the storm, sons of society are just a few of riots best issues, check them out they truely have no equal
