Welcome to the official Riotous Indignation website.
Founded by Bob Clayton and Mike Repel in 2015, the band released their debut, the Violentus Musicae EP, in early 2016. The EP was recorded and produced by Repel, and was mixed at Dexter Labs Studio in Milford CT. by Nick Bellmore and was Mastered by 2 time Grammy nominated Chris “Zeuss” Harris.
Since the release of The Violentus Musicae EP in May of 2016, we have obtained positive press coverage and have confirmed airplay on over 50 internet radio stations, some terrestrial radio, and podcasts. This also includes a twenty-two week charting run for our song Secret Societies on Radio Naklo’s Czadlista & Czadlista Post Scriptum Radio Show in Poland.
In January of 2017 we released our music video for The End and also became a semi-finalist in the 2017 Hollywood Film festival for our work in creating the video.
In 2017 the band has increased visibility with ongoing promotions in mainland China. Our music was included in a music festival playlist, and was recently the focus of a new syndicated column about heavy music on QQ Music.
Our music has been featured on several recently released compilations, including: The Making a Scene 2017 compilation by Whatever68 Radio and PP Promo Records, El Bunker Del Metal’s The Force of Annihilation compilation out of Argentina, and also The Metal Music GlobAlliance Compilation out of Slovakia.
We have also been featured on the 2018 Imperative Music Global Metal Compilation Vol. 15 with Destruction, Hammerfall, Cradle of Filth, Death, and many other bands. This compilation, based out of Brazil, is a DVD/with Audio and Video contributions from each band. It will be distributed internationally through Imperatives label and media partners in several countries.
Previously unreleased music has been coming out in the form of singles, all which have been receiving terrestrial and internet radio play. The most recent being Wheel of Misfortune, a blunt and unforgiving look into the rapid downward slope of heroin addiction.
