Running Wild - Black Hand Inn

Running Wild - Black Hand Inn
(1994) Noise

My summer obsession with pirate metal continues. This time it's a strange mix with aliens and pirates. Just ignore the spoken intros on two songs. The rest of the album is a true classsic - complete with almost black metal-like atmosphere and guitar on some songs. Trve pirate metal!:)

Running Wild - Death Or Glory

Running Wild - Death Or Glory
(1989) Noise

My Running Wild-theme continues, this time with their best album from their pirate period (wich of course lasted through-out their whole discography - except their two first albums). Just listen to "Tortuga Bay" or "Riding The Storm" and you'll understand why I think so good of this album. The re-recording of "Chains And Leather" is another jewel here. Buy, buy, buy!

Running Wild - Blazon Stone

Running Wild - Blazon Stone
(1991) Noise

I've been listening a lot to Running Wild this week (and some of the previous weeks, too!). It's hard to choose a favourite album from their big discography. "Blazon Stone" is maybe not the obvious choice, but I felt that I hadn't listened to it as much as I should. Now I have! It's a great "power" metal album - but not power as in "power metal", like Hammerfall, Rhapsody (Of Fire) and the likes...
