Cult New York heavy metal band and godfathers of power metal, RIOT V, will release their 16th album entitled, »Armor Of Light«, on April 27th via Nuclear Blast.
Today, the band is pleased to release the official video clip of the second single "Heart Of A Lion". The video was filmed in New York and was produced by acclaimed director Kyle Monroe from Ryk3r Productions!

Don Van Stavern states:
"One of my traditional sounding DVS RIOT tunes! Beautifully intricate with a great vocal delivery, bombastic drums, string patterns from hell and a great hooky sing-a-long chorus! The video captures the lyrical story line and the awesome playmenship of the band. I'm really jazzed about this one!"
Todd Michael Hall adds:
"My idea and lyrical content for "Heart of a Lion" is about Richard the Lion Heart. He was known as an incredible Warrior and military leader, but he also gave into his weaknesses, much like our leaders of today. Ultimately, his hubris lead to his untimely death."
RIOT V also just revealed the first dates for their upcoming Europe tour with the German metal institution PRIMAL FEAR:
