It ║ │ │║ doesnÆt show clearly on the face of the Adrian, ║ │ │║ assuming the old pirate stance as if roaring ║ │ │║ through your membrane, therefore, you would have ║ │ │║ to direct your attention closer to the new ║ │ │║ shindig called ôResilientö of the comeback ║ │ │║ RUNNING WILD, led by Rock NÆ Rolf Kasparek. ║ │ │║ Merely a year passed since the official studio ║ │ │║ return of RUNNING WILD to the Metal ranks with ║ │ │║ the release of ôShadowmakerö, and here they are ║ │ │║ at it again, revealing new irons. Frankly, one ║ │ │║ of my deepest, and darkest, wishes was that ║ │ │║ Kasparek will retain the early pirate / epic ║ │ │║ like classic Heavy / Speed Metal outbursts of ║ │ │║ the 80s and 90s. With ôResilientö, via SPV / ║ │ │║ Steamhammer Records, I canÆt say that my wishes ║ │ │║ werenÆt partially fulfilled; however, it became ║ │ │║ quite clear that Kasparek, rather slowly, has ║ │ │║ been turning RUNNING WILD into a mixture of the ║ │ │║ bandÆs early legacy along with hefty attributes ║ │ │║ of his other Hard Rock ventures such as GIANT X ║ │ │║ and TOXIC TASTE. The Adrian might not be as ║ │ │║ foreboding as back on the glory days, but it ║ │ │║ still has it within to bite hard. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In contrast to the Rockier ôShadowmakerö, which ║ │ │║ really surprised me back when it was revealed, ║ │ │║ and not because suddenly after three years ║ │ │║ Kasparek decided to revamp RUNNING WILD, but due ║ │ │║ to its musical perspective as a follow up to the ║ │ │║ failed ôRogues En Vogueö, ôResilientö, appeared, ║ │ │║ at first at least, as a journey back to the 90s. ║ │ │║ Eventually it wasnÆt, as it led me to the notion ║ │ │║ that the old RUNNING WILD spirit might still be ║ │ │║ within the tracks, yet KasparekÆs vision of the ║ │ │║ music changed. Excluding the magnificent iconic ║ │ │║ epic ôBloody Islandö, which had me back into the ║ │ │║ lungs of the early 90s classics of ôPile Of ║ │ │║ Skullsö and ôBlack Hand Innö, and the catchy ║ │ │║ emblem ôFireheartö, recalling the past grandeur ║ │ │║ even with the slight rockier drive, ôResilientö ║ │ │║ is a new kind of Adrian, a new type of RUNNING ║ │ │║ WILD. Establishing a front of Heavy Metal melded ║ │ │║ with Teutonic Hard Rock encirclement, following ║ │ │║ a considerable ACCEPTian dirge that turned out ║ │ │║ to be fairly addictive. Furthermore, I must ║ │ │║ incline to the fact that Kasparek, as a singer, ║ │ │║ still has what it takes to front. His voice ║ │ │║ might be slightly weary, yet there is that fire ║ │ │║ of the past within his lungs. Subsequent to the ║ │ │║ known RUNNING WILD sound pattern, which has been ║ │ │║ eagerly maintained by Kasparek all these years, ║ │ │║ these songs were disclosed as melodic, mid tempo ║ │ │║ crunchers, common Kasparek type soloing, riff ║ │ │║ based tracks in manner yet with a traditional ║ │ │║ selection of KasparekÆs style of riffing shaped ║ │ │║ in an Hard Rock version. ôCrystal Goldö, ║ │ │║ featuring quite a hooking main riff that drove ║ │ │║ me crazy and a heck of a chorus, ôDesert Roseö, ║ │ │║ one of the closest to be an impeccable Hard NÆ ║ │ │║ Heavy routine, it feels RUNNING WILD, but it ║ │ │║ screams something else, foreign to this band. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Probably one of the albumÆs ills is that the ║ │ │║ riffs repeat themselves and of course there are ║ │ │║ the near identical songsÆ formulas haling time ║ │ │║ and time again. It also happened on earlier ║ │ │║ RUNNING WILD material, yet IÆm afraid that ║ │ │║ ôResilientö is nothing like the older albums. ║ │ │║ Nonetheless, it is a good release, still far ║ │ │║ from being an incarnation of the previous class, ║ │ │║ but has enough vigour and 80s Metal perception ║ │ │║ to keep the fansÆ hunger in check. Kasparek ║ │ │║ aimed at being easy and memorable, and so he ║ │ │║ did. As far as the music goes, it is a trip back ║ │ │║ to the basics of Metal, confined with Hard Rock, ║ │ │║ low on speeds and up through the mid tempo town. ║ │ │║ Even if you are a fan of the bandÆs old legacy, ║ │ │║ you should check this one out. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Rock 'n' Rolf - Vocals, Guitars, Bass ║ │ │║ Peter Jordan - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Soldiers Of Fortune [04:23] │ │ 02 - Resilient [04:41] │ │ 03 - Adventure Highway [04:19] │ │ 04 - The Drift [04:46] │ │ 05 - Desert Rose [05:13] │ │ 06 - Fireheart [04:42] │ │ 07 - Run Riot [04:34] │ │ 08 - Down To The Wire [04:04] │ │ 09 - Crystal Gold [04:28] │ │ 10 - Bloody Island [09:55] │ │ 11 - Payola & Shenanigans (Bonus Track) [04:41] │ │ 12 - Premonition (Bonus Track) [04:18] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [60:04 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
