Tribute à Running Wild

[Gandalf]

Je sais pas ce que ça peut valoir, m'enfin...

The upcoming tribute to German metal legends RUNNING WILD — which will contain cover versions of songs exclusively from the albums "The Rivalry" (1998), "Victory" (2000), "The Brotherhood" (2002) and "Rogues En Vogue" (2005) — will be titled "ReUnation - A Tribute To Running Wild" and is tentatively scheduled for release in the fall. The artwork (see below) was created by Romanian graphic artist Costin Chioreanu, who has previously worked with such bands as ABSU, CENTINEX, DEMONICAL, NEGURA BUNGET and THUNDERSTORM.

Commented Chioreanu: "I am deeply honored to work for such a big heavy metal legend as RUNNING WILD. I know this is just a tribute album, not a brand-new studio release, but its rôle is quite important in my opinion. RUNNING WILD was and still is a crucial influence for generations of heavy metal bands, so I think it's very interesting too see how the young blood interprets in their very own way the songs of this legend.

"I know that on the last four RUNNING WILD albums the lyrical themes were a bit different than on the older ones — they were centered more around the political and social side of life — and that's why I wanted from the first place to build up something that should look somehow political, but keeping also the old atmosphere of RUNNING WILD's image. Adrian, their mascot ever since, is now the symbol of the revolt with some damaged flags without identity behind him. He destroys the chessboard where some characters are ruling their game. Right behind Adrian there is a chest full of other pieces, kinda removed from the board from the first place. Maybe some of the fans will recognize some of them...I didn't want to make it very explicit. I felt also that I had to get Adrian older but keeping also his dark and rebel look. I think this artwork speaks by itself regarding the title: 'ReUnation' — it's something like to reunite the differences by destroying who unite them as similarities."

So far the following bands/tracks are confirmed to appear on the set:

CRYSTAL VIPER - "Libertalia"
MAGICA - "Victory"
ORDEN OGAN - "Skull & Bones"
SATANOCHIO - "Siberian Winter"
SKILTRON - "Ballad Of William Kidd"
THUNDERSTORM - "Welcome To Hell"
5TH SONIC BRIGADE - to be announced
SUIDAKRA - to be announced
WARHEAD - to be announced
WILD KNIGHT - to be announced

RUNNING WILD released a "best of" compilation, entitled "Best of Adrian", in November 2006 via G.U.N. Records. The set includes selections covering the previous nine years of the band's recording history (while they've been signed to the G.U.N. label).

RUNNING WILD's last collection of new material, "Rogues En Vogue" (2005), entered the German album charts at position No. 39. The CD was produced by RUNNING WILD mainman Rolf "Rock'n'Rolf" Kasparek and features the lineup of Kasparek (vocals, all guitars), Peter Pichl (bass) and Matthias Liebetruth (drums).

"ReUnation - A Tribute To Running Wild" — the upcoming tribute to German metal legends RUNNING WILD which will contain cover versions of songs exclusively from the albums "The Rivalry" (1998), "Victory" (2000), "The Brotherhood" (2002) and "Rogues En Vogue" (2005) — will be released in fall 2009 by the Hamburg-based label Remedy Records as a limited two-CD set for the price of a normal album — an exclusive collector's item and a definite must-have for all heavy rock and metal fans.

Commented Jens Pohl, RUNNING WILD's webmaster: "This album will not be just an ordinary tribute to anyone, this is going to be a farewell gift to one of the most influential bands in heavy metal, paying homage to [RUNNING WILD mainman] Rock'n'Rolf as a musician and — due to the current situation — to many of his latest songs but not solely. I am really happy, proud and grateful at the same time that this tribute album features some legends as well as some of the most promising and uprising heavy rock and metal acts you should not miss! My deepest appreciation to everyone being involved. Thanks."
