Running Wild - New Album On The Way
German pirates Running Wild have been working on a new album titled Rapid Foray. The heavy metallers are preparing an August 26th, 2016 release date, three years after the release of Resilient. See the cover art based on a photo by Kasparek which Jens Reinhold (Virgin Steele, Freedom Call, among others) subsequently gave the look of an oil painting and song titles here.
The band's mastermind Rolf Kasparek apologises for the long delay: "Due to my broken shoulder, I was totally or at least partly incapacitated for more than twelve months from spring 2014, something that repeatedly delayed work on the new material. After that I had to prepare intensively for our show in Wacken, which was also very time-consuming. Now I'm all the more pleased to be able to present an exceptionally strong new recording to all Running Wild fans."
"The new tracks are more complex than those on our previous two releases", Kasparek reveals, "which I noticed in particular when we were recording the guitars. At the same time some of the numbers remind me of Running Wild classics. I feel that we've come up with a very interesting and impressive mix."
Rapid Foray was produced by Rolf Kasparek with Niki Nowy as sound engineer, who also mixed and mastered the material together.

Written by Bad English on 11.06.2016 at 13:43 Nobody plays guitar like Rock n Rolf, I can detect his playing just from a few seconds of audio, it's in the riffs. Everybody who knows this band well can say that its music is most about Rolf's guitars and vocals and if you take one of them away, then the band will suck.

Written by Joppe on 11.06.2016 at 23:10 Partly true, but remember the last 3 albums before they broke up for the first time? They sucked heavily because they ditched the drummer and used a drum machine. The result was horrendous. Rogues in Vogue... omfg. Running Wild has made its last notable album way back... The Rivalry was their last one.

Written by Bad English on 11.06.2016 at 23:22 Maybe technically it would sound as good, but true fans will know the difference. Rolf is irreplaceable. Even if the songs do suck RW always had some good riffs in them.

Written by ManiacBlasphemer on 12.06.2016 at 02:04 I think most people agree about those drums are fake and sound terrible, but even so, some of the songs from Victory and Brotherhood are pretty good and I cannot say that RW sucks there yet. "Rogues" and "Shadowmaker" suck, but "Resilient" is on the right direction. If the next album will be more metal, less rock n roll, I'm sure it will be good one again.

Written by Joppe on 12.06.2016 at 11:20 1-2 good songs doesn't make a good album. Resilient sucks too. The only good track was Bloody Island which was a rip off of Treasure Island.
