Former Running Wild guitarist Majk Moti (August 29, 1957 - February 16, 2023) has passed away at the age of 66. Running Wild announced the news of his death on February 18, 2023, on their official FaceBook profile (you can check it out…

»Blazon Stone« is rightly one of the most revered classic Running Wild albums, packing some of the most unforgettable moments in the history of this cult band.

»Rapid Foray« is finally the real deal, the classic Running Wild album that the followers of Captain Kasparek and his crew have been waiting for since the late nineties.

"Resilient" keeps up the level of its predecessor "Shadowmaker". It's an even louder and faster record, but the best it can boast is that it counts as the best Runnig Wild release since "Brotherhood" (2002). So, the last 10 years, which…

'Many who wanted to climb to greatness will end up like a pig in a sea of filth if they leave behind the name of a criminal,' Dante once mused, providing the inspiration for the central message of "Death Or Glory," probably the best album…

"Shadowmaker" confirms that Running Wild are a different band today, and that we have to make peace with the fact that Rock N' Rolf writes differently now, though still in the glow of a quality reflection on the old-school heavy metal.

The most notorious pirates in metal sailed into the port of Port Royal laden with loot and made the first masterpiece in the band's story, one that's bursting at the seams with all sorts of epic historical themes.

The first live album from one of Germany's most unique classic metal bands turned out surprisingly good, despite the relatively limited pool of studio material to draw from.

An obscure band that looked doomed to drown in metal clichés and gray mediocrity finally found its own soul on "Under Jolly Roger", and with its new pirate look it stood out from its metal cousins from a mile away

»Branded And Exiled« already had a few moments hinting that a band with a soul of its own was slowly coming to life. On the other hand, the production still left a lot to be desired.

In the end, »Gates To Purgatory« was a relatively modest but still decent start to a long and successful pirate-metal career.

Best of Adrian? My ass!!! Pre-Christmas season, the perfect moment to squeeze as many jingling little coins as possible out of the masses' pockets. Except Running Wild are a tiny, tiny band on the music map these days, one that

"Rogues en Vogue" tries to win back the band's battered reputation after the total shipwreck that was "The Brootherhood" (2002). From stamping-machine songwriting to imagination-free riffs and illogical semitone turns

Oh well... Rock'n'Rolf has been left without a band, and now he IS Running Wild. What is there to say about the new album from the German heavy metal legends? Once again, Rock'n'Rolf serves up synthetic drums programmed on

Quick tip! Slap on your headphones and crank this double disc as loud as it'll go. Running Wild haven't shaken me like this since "Rivalry" (1998), the band's last classic manifesto in the four-piece line-up

Well, well, well... I can't stop grinning! After "Ready For Boarding" way back in 1988, we finally get a new official live CD from the legendary German heavy metal band. Though the timing is off. Sadly we don't know the backstory, probably…
