| Heavy metal outfit Running Wild have announced the re-issue of their two classic albums Death Or Glory and Blazon Stone on very limited picture disc vinyl via Hammerheart Records. Pre-orders are now available here: https://hammerheart.lnk.to/runningwildreissues Death Or Glory (1989) is the pinnacle of Running Wild’s career and one of the best heavy/power/speed metal albums ever made. The vocals, lyricism, drums and guitar/bass playing here have no equal in their later or earlier efforts. It’s a passionate and epic project of legendary proportions, one of such albums that can be correctly labeled a “classic”. Death or Glory is seminal heavy metal, and a war cry against the oncoming hordes of emerging death metal bands. Classic metal songwriting will always have a place in metal regardless of current trends and developing styles. After the classic Death Or Glory, Running Wild decided to speed things up without sacrificing the melody of their previous albums. The result was 1991’s Blazon Stone. It became their best-selling album to date, due to the critical success of Port Royal and Death Or Glory. Running Wild rarely gets the recognition it deserves. What began as a band has become a focused force still burning with the spirit of its prime. Many creators change over time, and Running Wild is no exception. Few in metal history have delivered so many powerful albums across nearly a decade, a legacy that still commands respect. |
