Running Wild - The Brotherhood (2002/Gun)
Rating - 8.2


This is patented Running Wild power metal: fairly fast and swift paced, both biting and melodic/flowing, and steady throughout. The band's trademark themes of piracy continue, as do the overall ass-kickings that are handed out.
The title track is a chugging and strafing piece, and "Soulstripper" is marked by a deadly rhythm. Good cuts are all over the horizon: "Welcome to Hell," "Crossfire," "Unation," "Dr. Horror," and the instrumental "Siberian Winter."
Two bonus tracks ("Powerride" and "Faceless") appear on the import versions, and both are above-par.
