Filmmaker Jimmy Kay had this to say about the project, “In this documentary, the viewer gets to watch  the band travel in the first person from city to city, see them perform their music, tell their stories and interact with themselves and the fans. It  captures the brotherhood, the continuation of Riot  and  bridges the two entities together (Riot and Riot V). The documentary also aims to explain the Riot back story and legacy. “

Giles Lavery co-producer concluded, “The story of Riot is one of the most unique and inspiring in the history of hard rock and heavy metal, the story has many twists and turns along the way, but the songs were and are always at forefront as some of the best in hard rock and heavy metal.”

RIOT V’s  debut “Unleash The Fire”, was released in October 2014 . The CD marked the first release from RIOT without the late, great founding guitarist Mark Reale, who passed away in  2012 due to complications of Crohn’s disease . Riot V was encouraged  by father of  Mark  Reale to forge ahead in his honor.

RIOT V is working on the follow-up to “Unleash The Fire” and preparing for live dates later in 2017.
