Riot V - 'High Noon' (official lyric video)

High Noon, shouting from the mountains
Echoing screams through the valley below
Warning shots fired into the skies
Heed my words or you’ll see your demise

Make no mistake
I’m the law in this town
If it’s a choice of you or me
Then you’re going down

High Noon
Underneath the sun
High Noon
Until my job is done

Outlaws scattered throughout the land
Searching for treasure with weapons in hand
Locked and loaded with guns by my side
Saddle up boys ‘cause it’s time to ride

Make no mistake
I’m the law in this town
If it’s a choice of you or me
Then you’re going down

High Noon
Underneath the sun
High Noon
Until my job is done
I am law in this town

Make no mistake
I’m the law in this town
If it’s a choice of you or me
Then you’re going down
High Noon
Underneath the sun
High Noon
Until my job is done
I am law in this town

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία εξαετία για τους Riot (Riot V όπως ονομάζονται πλέον τα τελευταία ένδεκα χρόνια). Ο διάδοχος του album "Armor of Light" (2018) και 17ος συνολικά "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Αμερικανών metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "Mean Streets" και αναμένεται στα μέσα του ανοιξιάτρικου χειμερινού μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Riot are the epitome of class, longevity and integrity: The New Yorkers play their high-class heavy metal with full fervour and have not let numerous strokes of fate (such as the death of guitarist Mark Reale, since when, out of respect, they are operating as "Riot V") get them down.

A lot of time has passed since their debut "Rock City" (1977), but Riot V are still around and now delight their fans with an absolute masterpiece: More than five years after "Armor Of Light", which saw the band achieving chart success in numerous European countries for the first time ever, Riot V now present "Mean Streets".

From the ferocious opener "Hail To The Warriors" to the hypnotic hymn "Feel The Fire" and the up-tempo hit "High Noon," to the energetic title track, the band pulls out all the stops. Fast-paced, lively, melodic and heavy - "Mean Streets" is the full service for every heavy metal fan!»

Παρακολουθούμε το lyric video του τραγουδιού "High Noon", για το οποίο ο Donnie Van Stavern μας λέει σχετικά:

«We are extremely excited to release our 17th Riot record "Mean Streets" with the mighty Atomic Fire Records label! We went back to the roots a bit on this one with some hard rockers and of course power metal stylings.

Our new pre-release lyric video 'High Noon' is a song I wrote with Mark Reale in mind, he loved the Old West and wrote songs about it as well ["Restless Breed" / "Gunfighter" etc.) and the music is a reminiscence on "Thundersteel" / "Privilege Of Power"! Enjoy, metal warriors, more awesomeness is on the way!»
