RIOT is currently writing material for a new studio album, which is tentatively set to be recorded this fall for an early 2010 release. One of the new songs, "Wings Are For Angels", was performed for the first time at Sweden Rock.

RIOT has announced three October shows in Japan, one of the band's premier markets going back to the classic "Rock City" days. Reale says, "We're excited to once again have the opportunity to play for our Japanese fans who've been so supportive over the years. This particular lineup only made it to Japan once before so this will be extra special for both us and the fans. "
