"Wings are for angels". Quite neat.

The song was played on Sweden rock festival a few years back when they toured.

Quite good yes, but needs to get a bit better to reach Thundersteel quality.

I love it! Would maybe have been the "weakest" track on the Thundersteel-album, but that says a whole lot more about that particular album than this song.

Edit: After four listens I would rate this a 9/10. Brilliant!

VERY pleased with this, absolutely exceeded my expectations.

Pretty cool indeed, but... the second riff sounds like Metal Church's "Mirror of Lies" don't you think??

I hope the album is more like Thundersteel and not like The Privilege of Power.

Mindblowing. When is this going to be released?

Haha...

I really don't mind the actual MUSIC on "Privilege Of Power". I just think that having 20 irrelevant intros to every song becomes redundant. Either way though, “Thundersteel” is Riot's magnum opus.

I like the actual music on PoP too, but I don't like the long instrumental cover at the end and the duet.

I agree. Killer is horrible and the instrumental is really boring. Except for those two tracks the album is pure brilliance. Dance Of Death might be their best song ever. The intros doesn't bother me. The album might be on my top 25 list. Thundersteel is top 3.

Now they are going as "special guest" on the Hammerfall-tour, and the new album "Immortal Souls" will be released in october...

American metal icons RIOT will be the "special guests" on the first leg of dates on Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL's upcoming "European Outbreak 2011" tour. Support on all dates will comes from AMARANTHE.

Commented HAMMERFALL singer Joacim Cans: "For thirty years I have been a true and devoted RIOT fan. Albums like 'Fire Down Under' and 'Thundersteel' have inspired me immensely, both as a singer and a songwriter, and the honest truth is that I would probably not be here today if it wasn't for RIOT. As a homage to the band we also covered their classic song 'Flight of the Warrior' on the album 'Masterpieces' in 2008.

"I am totally psyched about having RIOT as our special guest for the first leg of the European tour and I can assure you that I will be in the audience banging my head and singing along in every song...every single night! Hell yeah!"

RIOT's founding member Mark Reale is equally enthusiastic: "This tour is going to blow a lot of cobwebs away. We've been dying to get the band back over the Europe where we've always had such a loyal following. This is like a dream come true for all of us, and the timing, with the new album ready to roll, couldn't be better."

This will be the first time RIOT's legendary "Thundersteel" and "The Privilege Of Power" lineup of Tony Moore (vocals), Mark Reale (guitar), Mike Flyntz (guitar), Don Van Stavern (bass) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums) has played in Europe on a full tour, after the band's celebrated one-off show at Sweden Rock Festival in 2009. Having signed with SPV worldwide, except for Japan where they are signed to Avalon Marquee, RIOT is currently finalizing its new album, "Immortal Soul", for an October release. The dates with HAMMERFALL will therefore also be an opportunity for fans to hear new material from the band's upcoming — and long-awaited — fourteenth album.

AMARANTHE founder Olof Mörck commented: "All of us in AMARANTHE are mighty proud to go tour with our metal brothers from Gothenburg, the legendary HAMMERFALL! To take part on this huge tour that will take us to every corner in Europe is sure to be a pleasure, and we hope their fans will receive us kindly! We are sure to do our best to deliver as good of a show as possible, every single night from October through November! See all of you on tour this fall!"
