Thundersteel is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Riot and their first with singer Tony Moore, released after coming back from a period of inactivity in the mid-80s.[2] It was re-issued in 2003 by Collectables Records with slightly amended artwork. The album charted at No. 150 on Billboard 200[3]

The song "Thundersteel" was originally written by Mark Reale and Don Van Stavern for Narita, a short-lived project Reale formed with members of S.A.Slayer following the demise of Riot in 1984. A demo released by Narita exists, with "Thundersteel" and two other tracks: "Liar" and "The Feeling Is Gone".

The song "Flight of the Warrior" was covered by the Swedish heavy metal band HammerFall on their 2008 album Masterpieces.
