Restless Breed is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Riot, released on May 21, 1982. It was the band's first record with vocalist Rhett Forrester. "When I Was Young" is an Eric Burdon and the Animals' cover.
Restless Breed was first re-issued on CD in 1997 by Germany's High Vaultage label, including the Riot Live six-song EP as bonus tracks. A stateside re-issue followed in 1999 on Metal Blade Records, albeit sans the EP bonus tracks.[4]
Metal Blade would re-issue the album a second time in 2016, this time including the Riot Live EP as bonus tracks. Rock Candy Records reissued a remastered CD of the album in 2019
Metal Hammer included the album cover on their list of "50 most hilariously ugly rock and metal album covers ever".[5]
