One of the most consistent traditional metal bands ever!!
Basically all of their old albums are classics and have some of the most catchy choruses ever.. Excellent heavy riffs, blazing solos, and upbeat drumming.. What more can you expect.. Oh, the intelligent lyrics are their deal also (it's not just stupid themes rehashing some pirate storiesm, and besides that they have a lot of other themes such as Genghis Khan)...
And this concert staple song describes them the best:
We are prisoners of our time
But we are still alive
Fight for the freedom,
Fight for the right
We are Running Wild
Those lyrics also hold true today!
Hail, hail to the creators of Pirate Metal (of course it's not a genre)!
Rock 'n' Rolf rules!!!

Written by Cass on 20.12.2016 at 21:32 Those lists always suck anyways though. My favorite song by them is "Under Jolly Roger" as well! It's got a pirate theme to it, because, they decided to write the song to sound pirate-themed. I know, a new revelation about Running Wild!

Written by celine on 04.04.2017 at 20:56 "Under Jolly Roger" is probably their best known song. I would definitely recommend listening to more of their music as well. They have a lot of music that's pirate-themed, like something that probably influenced Alestorm.

Written by Winter Heathen on 06.04.2017 at 02:58 Oh shit it does sound a bit like Alestorm. Nice. I missed a chance to see Alestorm live once in S.F. Would have been great to see them play.

I'm trying to familiarize myself more with their mid-'90s-Present Day material, I haven't heard much from that era, quantity-wise. Their classic material is killer, I'm not crazy about the pirate themes, but there's no denying the raw talent which this band possesses
