Running Wild emerged from the German underground in the early 80s and grew into one of the defining forces of European heavy metal. Under the steady vision of Rolf Kasparek, the band forged a sound tied to history, rebellion, and battle-hardened metal tradition. By the end of the 80s and early 90s, Running Wild had already carved a legacy that many bands chase for an entire lifetime.

“Death Or Glory” stands as a towering monument in classic heavy metal. Released in 1989, it captures Running Wild at a creative peak where every song strikes with authority and fire. The album speaks in bold metal language, heroic themes, proud melodies, and relentless drive. This is heavy metal built for raised fists and shouted choruses, grounded in strong songwriting and a spirit that refuses compromise. Its reputation as a cornerstone of the genre remains unchallenged decades later.

“Blazon Stone”, released in 1991, pushes the energy further and turns momentum into triumph. The songs surge with speed and epic character, wrapped in Running Wild’s signature historical vision. This album became the band’s biggest commercial success for a reason; its metal anthems resonate far beyond trends or eras. “Blazon Stone” delivers battle-ready heavy metal that stays sharp, memorable, and powerful with every listen.

Together, “Death Or Glory” and “Blazon Stone” represent an era where Running Wild shaped the identity of heavy metal itself. These reissues through Hammerheart Records honor albums that remain essential, influential, and alive with metallic pride. This is pure classic metal heritage, loud, proud, and unbreakable.
