Riot V (support: Diamond Dust)Zagreb / Hard Place / CroatiaThursday, 10 August 2023 Riot V's show in the middle of this August at a club gig in Zagreb's Hard Place definitely belonged in the category of exclusive concerts. A treat…

"The quintet crowned its excellence, and we can safely call it performance-wise perfection, with this show too, and 'Live In Japan 2018' captures it down to the last detail."

Primal Fear and Riot V on a joint tour! Salzburg, Ljubljana, Graz! For Slovenian fans of the bands, a perfectly convenient setup that was well worth taking advantage of. After the Ljubljana show on October 21, 2018, came a day off, then a…

Primal Fear and Riot V make a smart pairing of two hard-hitting institutions that build their musical vocabulary on heavy metal's old-school legacy. On this joint tour, they stopped in Slovenia too!

Nope, we just couldn't wait for Primal Fear and Riot V to hit Ljubljana's CUK Kino Šiška, where the two bands play on Sunday, 21.10.2018. Since the Salzburg show was on the tour schedule almost three weeks earlier, Salzburg is still close…

From the big-show spectacle of classic Megadeth hits to the primordial old-school pioneering of the fantastic musical merry-go-round that is Riot V, and of course a heap of musical delights in genre colorfulness from Prong, In Solitude,…

The first day of the 19th Bang Your Head!!! festival was all about celebrating the first 25 years of music-making by famous German guitar hero Axel Rudi Pell, who often gets tagged as the German Blackmore.

Buckle up! "Thundersteel No. 2" is coming!
