Get a first listen to “Fool”\u00a0HERE<\/a>\u00a0courtesy of The Obelisk.<\/p>\n RIOTGOD\u00a0began in spirit through the conversations of Monster Magnet’s Bob Pantella and Jim Baglino while out on tour as early as 2006.<\/p>\n While touring with\u00a0Monster Magnet\u00a0provided them with some great times and afforded them the opportunity to perform around the world, each communicated a desire to express their own musical ideas.<\/p>\n During their time off the road, the pair began exploring the possibilities of creating their own band . Bob began to lay down some ideas to get the ball rolling come 2007.<\/p>\n Bob while recording ideas that would become many of the songs on\u00a0RIOTGOD<\/strong>‘s first CD, also sought out musicians that would fill out the guitar and vocal slots for the then nameless band. Contacted first was\u00a0Garrett Sweeny<\/strong>\u00a0for guitar.<\/p>\n For the vocals, many possible names had been discussed, including some notable voices familiar via other established bands yet in the end the local NJ connection would lead to\u00a0Mark Sunshine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The band began to look for shows locally booking in NYC, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The venues would range from nationally familiar clubs such as Asbury Park’s\u00a0Stone Pony\u00a0to a\u00a0gig in a Brooklyn loft.<\/p>\n Touring for the band would be another story. Each member still fulfilled their other musical obligations, most notably Jim and Bob being called out to tour with Monster Magnet, However challenging it may always be owing to scheduling — touring is a\u00a0given.<\/p>\n RIOTGOD<\/strong>\u00a0did its first mini-tour in 2009, hitting the road with fellow NJ rockers\u00a0The Friends of Bill Wilson.\u00a0RIOTGOD<\/strong>\u00a0would visit the US mid-west and Canada, playing venues such as Chicago’s\u00a0Double Door, Detroit’s\u00a0Blondies, Toronto’s\u00a0Bovine Sex Club\u00a0as well as some lesser known colorful establishments along the way.<\/p>\n RIOTGOD<\/strong>\u00a0is now back – with their second album. More straight, more rock, more stoner – more\u00a0RIOTGOD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Invisible Empire Track Listing: For more info visit: The Obelisk is hosting an exclusive premiere of a new track from RIOTGOD’s upcoming release “Invisible Empire”. “Invisible Empire” is the follow up to the band’s self-titled, critically acclaimed debut album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":466,"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464\/revisions\/466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
