Bio:

Running Wild is a German heavy metal band, formed in 1976 in Hamburg.In 1976, Rolf "Rock'n'Rolf" Kasparek, along with Uwe Bendig, Michael Hofmann and Jörg Schwarz, founded the group GRANITE HEARTS in Hamburg. At this time, Hasche and Matthias Kaufmann were together in another Hamburg-based band GROBER UNFUG. In 1977, Matthias was also helping out GRANITE HEARTS as bass player. Rehearsals were held at the Emilie-Wüstenfeld School, which is where Matthias and Rolf got to know each other. Matthias also persuaded Hasche to join the band. After rehearsing hard, the new group were desperate to find the right name ... They hit on RUNNING WILD (1979) as they were all fans of KISS and JUDAS PRIEST.After many personnel changes, Rolf has long been the only remaining member of the original line-up and he alone determines the direction of the band. He writes almost all of the music and lyrics for RUNNING WILD.Running Wild is a German heavy metal band, formed in 1976 in Hamburg. They were part of the German metal scene to emerge in the early to mid-1980s. Although the earlier releases contained satanic themes and imagery, Gerald “Preacher” Warnecke, the guitar player of the band, was studying theology at the time and is a vicar in Cologne now.In 1987, the band released the album "Under Jolly Roger" which was a switch to pirate-based and historical themes. While the historical lyrics were very superficial at first, the lyrics for later albums were intensively researched by Rolf Kasparek particularly.After this album, from 1988 to 1992 (the albums "Port Royal", "Death Or Glory", "Blazon Stone" and "Pile Of Skulls") Running Wild mainly wrote historically-based lyrics. As well as lyrics about pirates like Calico Jack Rackham, Klaus Störtebeker or the little-known Henry Jennings, the band also addressed subjects like the Wars Of The Roses, The Battle Of Waterloo or the colonization of the New World by the Conquistadors.On April 17, 2009 Rolf announced that Running Wild had split-up. Their last show was at Wacken Open Air on July 30, 2009. It was recorded for CD and DVD release and appeared as The Final Jolly Roger on June 24, 2011.As of October 21, 2011, Running Wild have reformed. The most recent album, titled Resilient, is due to be released in October 2013.

Album:

It’s was hard to get excited about Running Wild’s new album.The band took to the trade like a duck to water and from 1987 onward they’ve kept the pirate’s flag flying (almost) nonstop rough seas, but have been sailing half-mast for a long time now since their sound fully transitioned from a speed/power outing to a hard/heavy snoozefest. ‘Blood on Blood’ is the fourth release since their 2012 “reformation” and as on the albums before it, they’re not looking to reinvent the rum. Led by founding marauder and one of the most legendary metal musicians of all time Rolf “Rock n’ Rolf” Kasparek, what we have here is a mix of more of the same old school raider anthems and the hard rock vein that people are so offended by since the days of ‘The Brotherhood’ came upon us.This time around, though, there’s a small lighthouse in the land ahoy. Rolf appears to have listened to all the tantrums directed at the band’s latest entries and took a few steps back in the right direction by digging that juicy pirate booty from the heydays. The awesome “The Shellback”, for instance, actually revisits the atmospheric theme of 1994 classic ‘Black Hand Inn’, serving as a prequel to the story of that album, in music and lyrics alike. “The Iron Times (1618–1648)”, which delves into the Thirty Years’ War, is also a good example of how Rolf’s creativity and songwriting can still be relevant and refreshing while also paying respects to his past glory.While most of the songs here are about a specific topic, like “Wings Of Fire” and “Say Your Prayers” being about the prophecies of John of Jerusalem, co-founder of the Order of the Knights Templar who predicted organ trafficking back in the Middle Ages, and “Crossing The Blades”, that tells the story of the three musketeers from the 17th century, some tracks are just plain “party rock” nonsense such as “Wild & Free” and “Wild, Wild Nights“. Sure enough, these are the weakest moments in the album.Rolf is a limited singer but his rough voice works fine as always. Running Wild’s long history of catchy, distinctive riffs deserves respect and he once again delivers some quality leads across this endeavor. Peter Jordan is again aboard to provide solos and even though we now have a proper drummer in Michael Wolpers, the mix still sounds programmed (but then again, I’ve heard worse).In an interview earlier this year, Rolf commented that “The result (of ‘Blood on Blood’) is an album that in my opinion is probably the best in Running Wild’s career to date. Every one of the ten songs sounds exactly as I had it in mind when I composed it. I’ve never been happier with a Running Wild record before.” If he truly believes this, it’s easy to explain why Running Wild have fallen so grandly since 1998. How can I endorse this ludicrous affirmation when faced with songs like “One Night One Day” and “Wild Wild Nights” when I know that the very same guy wrote “Port Royal”, “Riding the Storm” and “Prisoner of Our Time”, just to name a few?‘Blood on Blood’ doesn’t hold a candle to Running Wild’s classic records so it’s definitely not the best in their extensive and winning career, but it’s a good album. Hell, if you take into consideration musical delusions like ‘Shadowmaker’ and ‘Resilient’, for instance, it can even be great. If you enjoy the latest entries in Rolf’s discography, then by all means buy this because it’s miles better than nearly everything the band did since the comeback; if like me, you always expect more from what was once one of the best bands in the world, this album can give you mixed feelings. At the end of the day, nonetheless, it has more qualities than deficiencies.
