“Death Or Glory” is the pinnacle of Running Wild’s career and one of the best Heavy/Power/Speed Metal albums ever made, the vocals, lyricism, drumming and guitar/bass playing here have no equal in their later or earlier efforts. It is a simply outstanding, passionate and epic project of legendary proportions, one of such albums that can be correctly labeled a “classic”.
So, starting up with what makes this album one of the best ever in the genre let’s start with what is also the best song on the album and the first thing you’ll hear when you put this on, “Riding The Storm”. To put it bluntly, the song is a masterpiece, and the passion it oozes is incredibly contagious, not to mention, Rolf’s vocals are at the peak of his career on this song alone, the mid tempo intro serves as preparation for what’s to come, and what comes is pure Heavy/Speed Metal bliss, a true show of force of what they’re capable of, boasting one of the best choruses they made and with a good instrumental breakdown to follow the solo, “Riding The Storm” is an example of what this glorious album will offer.
“Death or Glory” is seminal Heavy Metal, and a war cry against the oncoming hordes of emerging death metal bands. Classic metal songwriting will always have a place in metal regardless of current trends and developing styles.
“Death or Glory” is best heard in full. As one 50-minute charge, it captures the spirit of true Heavy Metal with few rivals. Some songs hit harder than others, but together they form a classic that still commands respect.
