Archives Volume 5: 1992-2005

Volume 5, spanning the years 1993 to 2002 and including rare recordings from the album sessions to "Nightbreaker", "Brethren Of The Long House", "Inishmore", "Sons Of Society" and "Through The Storm", marks the end of High Roller Records' long-running Riot "Archives" series. The highlight of "Vol.5" might be the song "Sylvia", which was recorded during the "Nightbreaker" recordings sessions but never made it onto the proper album. Between 1993 and 2002 Riot released five studio albums. Giles Lavery, product co-ordinator of the "Archives" series, comments: "Riot was like a musical sanctuary to a heavy metal fan in that sense... There were some artists like Alice Cooper, Whitesnake or Magnum who kind of sat out or split for most of the later 1990s but then came back in the early 2000s with regular release."
