This is good one, speed , fats and energetic album from those metal maniacs.

Killer album. When it comes to newer 80's retro metal with attitude, you can't get much more legit than this.

This is really good, and probably better than it should be. I hope these talented guys find their 80's-minded audience because this album is a phenomenal debut.

Fun and well executed speed metal. Riot City could be one of the futures brightest stars as they prove to be able to craft excellent songs in In the Dark, 329 and Warrior of Time.

Good album ruined by falsetto high pitched crying vocals. It was unbearable.

I have to agree. It's like getting slapped in the ear drum. I could deal with it sparsely but it's just too much.

The definition of ''killer album''. It came out of nowhere, like a lightning strike in a
cloudless sky

Interesting cover-art, looking like an alternative version to Screaming For Vengeance. It's a great album, it's breakneck speedy fun, and the sound and production is amazing, it's pure 80's old school sounding. The vocals are ok, but he went a wee bit over the top with his high pitch squeals though, kinda spoiled it.

I'm hearing many influences from many great like Helstar, Riot, Iron Maiden, early Queensrÿche, and of course Judas Priest. The final song however, sounds like it was majorly influenced by Helloween's Walls Of Jericho, so it's clear they intend to keep the old traditional heavy metal sound alive.
