Running Wild

Musical Group

German heavy metal band led by Rolf Kasparek (aka Rock'n'Rolf), notable for pioneering a pirate-themed image and anthemic classic metal from the 1980s onward.

Formed in the mid-1970s (review mentions 1976 under the name "Granite Heart"). Longtime leader and main composer Rolf Kasparek (stage name Rock'n'Rolf) is the constant member; the band adopted pirate imagery from Under Jolly Roger onward. Reviews document a 2009 breakup and a subsequent return with new releases around 2012.

DeBaser reviews present Running Wild as a German heavy metal band famed for pirate-themed albums and anthemic riffs. Early and 1990s records (Under Jolly Roger, Port Royal, Black Hand Inn, Death Or Glory) are widely praised. Later releases receive mixed reactions, with Shadowmaker often criticized and some reunion-era albums seen as partial redemption.

For:Fans of classic heavy metal, speed metal and power metal; listeners interested in pirate-themed metal.

 

It's really true: Running Wild were without any doubt "The Chiefs".

On that abrasive riff, I left a part of myself, and since then, Running Wild has remained one of my favorite bands.

You too have fallen into the trap, you too have been sucked into the whirlpool of money and fame.
