It took them over 40 years to come, but Riot - now called Riot V - finally made it over to tour the UK. Metal Express Radio`s Mick Burgess caught up with bassist Don Van Stavern and guitarist Mike Flyntz to talk about the tour, the transition from Riot into Riot V, and the continuation of the legacy of founder and friend Mark Reale.

Riot V have released a lyric video for "Angel's Thunder, Devil's Reign", a track from their sixteenth album, Armor Of Light, out now. Watch the clip below.

The album is available on colored vinyl (black, silver, red) 2-LP in gatefold and as a limited CD-Digipak-Edition, both including the two bonus tracks "Unbelief" as well as a new recorded verison of their classic hymn "Thundersteel". Order here.

The album was produced by Chris "The Wizard" Collier (Metal Church, Flotsam And Jetsam), while the cover artwork was created by Mariusz Gandzel (Crytal Viper).
