riotor Bio:
Sworn to THRASH! RIOTOR was twisted into form by possessed veterans and younger maniacs from the Québec City metal scene and has been CRUSHING POSERS since early 2007. The hellish flame to form an uncompromising old school thrash metal band was ignited by Kevinator (Six Chords Under) and Gabrihell (Razor Sharp Metalized Axe) at a RAZOR gig (Montreal Metal Massacre) in December 2005. Thus, thrashing united them from their dawn! At that time, Kevinator and Stefanatik (Multiple Stabbing and Screams from the Abyss) were still playing in TRAUMATISM, a death/grind project that released two formidable albums in the genre. The flame burns through to Christ-mass 2006, when Ismarevil (Warcry, Blasphemy Art) joined the quest of this unrelenting band. At the same time TRAUMATISM was forced to disband and so it became clear to them that the gods brought them together to THRASH ETERNALLY. A few weeks later, none other than DESTRUCTION came to Québec City. After innumerable amounts of GROLSCH and the rest of the band meeting Mikalcoholic (Thunder and Lightning Strike), Gabrihell's long-time friend and brother of steel - RIOTOR was born! The spring of 2007 was spent partying, playing covers of DEATH, KREATOR and SACRIFICE as well as composing 6(66) unholy songs of infernal devastation. The following summer was dedicated to recording these songs by renting and borrowing any tools that were needed - Fight the METAL fight. Their first demo "DEATH AND DESTRUCTION" was released in October 2007 when they opened for Canadian thrash legends PILEDRIVER, a real hellish metal night. This first demo gave RIOTOR only awesome reviews in underground zines all over the world. The exposure gave RIOTOR the chance to play a lot of shows; their POUNDING live experience made RIOTOR a devastating metal force on stage. The second half of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 was also spent writing 6(66) other metallic hymns that were self-recorded again later in the year for the second demo slaughter "FUCKING METAL". The band is now ready to heavily promote this BEAST of hell and forge future metal anthems for the diehard metal maniacs! RIOTOR WILL THRASH UNTIL THE END!!! |
