Riot Archives Volume 5:1992-2005

The fifth and final part of Riot's "Archives" series spans the years 1993 to 2002 and includes rare recordings from the album sessions of "Nightbreaker", "Brethren Of The Long House", "Inishmore", "Sons OfSociety" and "Through The Storm". A highlight of the compilation is the completely unreleased track "Sylvia". Recorded during the "Nightbreaker" session, the song finally made it onto the album. In the period between 1993 and 2002 Riot released a total of five studio albums. GilesLavery, product coordinator of the Archives series, comments: "Riot were the last refuge for all fans of traditional heavy metal in the nineties. Artists such as Alice Cooper, Whitesnake and Magnum temporarily disbanded in the 1990s or simply sat this decade out, only to attack again in the early 2000s.
