The Fathers of Pirate Metal... and I don't mean fucking Alestorm. :yarr: [b]Running Wild.[/b] :pirate: [img]http://www.steffie-mano.be/running%20wild/rw2.jpg[/img] [i]Running Wild are a German heavy metal band, formed in 1976 in Hamburg. They were part of the German heavy/speed/power metal scene to emerge in the early to mid 1980s. The band has carved its niche in the metal world as the first "pirate metal" band, a theme which took off with the release of Under Jolly Roger in 1987 (thus abandoning the Satanic imagery of their earlier work).[/i] Sadly, the band split up this summer after their final show at Wacken. But they have left behind quite an awesome discography with supreme high-class Power/Speed Metal.
