Riot V/Kanagawa,Japan 2024 Complete

RIOT V, who came to Japan for the sixth time after their revival with Todd Michael Hall 11 years ago, has released a superb original recording that allows you to enjoy their latest stage. This work was recorded at the “Club Citta Kawasaki on July 20, 2024”. This is the superb audience recording. This is their first visit to Japan in five years, but in 2024, there were many live performances around the world accompanying the release of “MEAN STREETS”. The first report pro shot “ROCK HARD FESTIVAL 2024” is also popular, so let’s start by taking a bird’s-eye view of their activities and checking their respective positions.・April 11th + 12th: North America #1 (2 performances) {“MEAN STREETS” released on April 12th}・May 8th – June 5th: Europe #1 (12 performances)←※ROCK HARD FESTIVAL 2024・July 20th + 22nd: Japan (2 performances)←★Here★・August 30th + 31st: North America #2 (2 performances)・September 7th – 18th: South America (7 performances)・September 27th – October 5th: North America #3 (5 performances)・November 20th – 30th: Europe #2 (10 performances) This is the 2024 RIOT V that has been announced so far. This visit to Japan is a small schedule with a total of two visits, and the Kawasaki performance of this work was also a special performance called “RIOT Festival 2024”. On the day, VALENTINO FRANCAVILLA and Japanese bands were on the opening act, and there was a DJ corner, but the main RIOT performed a full show in the usual style with Valentino Francavilla as a guest singer. This work is a full live album that completely records such a RIOT edition. And the sound is a superb product with “super”. As many of you may already know, this work was recorded by the familiar “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”. If you have noticed this article, you may have experienced some kind of “strongest” collection, but this work is as always … no, more than usual, it is amazing to go “like a sound board”. The extremely thick core with no sense of distance and the vividness that you can’t feel the hall sound even if you listen carefully with headphones. Whether it’s the details or the sense of separation, it’s so amazing that it’s hard to imagine it as an audience recording, and even if they said, “Actually, it’s an IEM interception,” or “I secretly connected it to the mix desk and recorded it,” I would have believed it without a single millimeter of doubt. Such a thick direct sound depicts the full show of RIOT V, who has matured as a band after 10 years of revival. As mentioned above, this year the official-grade pro shots came out from the first report, but this work is also attractive for its number of songs that far surpass it. Let’s organize it while comparing it with the masterpiece pro shots. After the resurrection (6 songs) Mean Streets: Hail To The Warriors / Feel The Fire / Love Beyond The Grave Others: Angel’s Thunder, Devil’s Reign (★) / Take Me Back (★) / Land Of The Rising Sun (★) Classics (12 songs) Ruins of Rage: Tokyo Rose (★) / Rock City (★) / Warrior (★) Thundersteel: Fight Or Fall / Sign of the Crimson Storm (★) / Johnny’s Back / Flight Of The Warrior / Bloodstreets / Thundersteel Others: Black Leather And Glittering Steel (★) / Road Racin’ / Swords And Tequila *Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that could not be heard in the masterpiece pro shot “ROCK HARD FESTIVAL 2024”. …And so it is. Roughly speaking, the balance is “After the resurrection = 1/3”, “THUNDERSTEEL = 1/3”, and “Other classics = 1/3”. I’m also happy to hear “Black Leather And Glittering Steel”, “ARMOR OF LIGHT” and “UNLEASH THE FIRE”. It’s sad that the Mike DiMeo era is not there, but there are no songs that can be left out instead. Above all, “Warrior”, which was left out of “ROCK HARD FESTIVAL 2024” (why?), will be played perfectly. The performance that spells out such a set is also truly wonderful. Nick Lee, who is battling autoimmune encephalitis, was unable to come to Japan, but the lineup has been stable for 10 years since the restart and has been performing live more regularly than the Mark Reali era, and it can be said that their level of skill is the best of all time. And Todd Michael Hall’s throat is definitely the best of all time. He is 55 years old, but rather than weakening, he is more flexible and has plenty of room. I was surprised that he had short hair, probably because he is usually the manager of a general company, but as soon as he holds the microphone, he roars with a superhuman voice like the Avengers. Even after the death of Mark Reali, the brave RIOT V embodies the ideals of heavy metal. This live album allows you to enjoy their latest visit to Japan with a superb sound that is no exaggeration to say is of the official class. This is a new masterpiece from Japan that is truly proud of the world. A superb audience recording of the performance of “Club Citta Kawasaki on July 20, 2024”. An original recording by our familiar master, “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, it is a masterpiece that is more “like a sound board” than usual. You can enjoy a delicious full show with the long-awaited “Black Leather And Glittering Steel” and the new songs of “MEAN STREETS”. This is a new masterpiece from Japan that is truly proud of the world. Club Citta, Kawasaki, Japan 20th July 2024 ULTIMATE SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc:1 (50:13) 1. SE 2. Hail To The Warriors 3.
