Jody B. An excellent album of Running Wild inspired speed/power metal. Riffs abound and the guitar playing is excellent, especially the lead work. The drumming is propulsive and technical and the vocals are powerful and inspiring. All of this is topped of with a great mix and strong production values. Favorite track: Amistad Rebellion.

We left months ago, we were out for the hunt Seadogs hungry for treasures and glory Riding the storm like a bullet of lead Breaking the waves like a cutlass in flesh Cargos were plundered in numbers unknown Many were killed in our rage attacks Pieces of eight in mountains aboard Time to return and raise our bottles Under the flag of skull – living fear Ruthless and raising hell – bloody sea Glory for those who fight – death for the weak And then we return back to Port royal – return to Port royal – return to Port royal Cannons are running hot in the night Turning the galleons to ruins of wood Traces of battle wherever we go Blood has been spilled like a tide flood of death Hell has no boundaries, death has no law The shark is loose and it’s hungry for gold New vessels to plunder and ships to burn Under the flag of skull – living fear Ruthless and raising hell – bloody sea Glory for those who fight – death for the weak And then we return back to Port royal – return to Port royal – return to Port royal

When the world is burning When the power hungry fools are down The struggle has ended We will rise again and live our way Run wild or die in flames The party never ends for us Forever riding free On the waves of the open seas Hoist the Jolly Roger As a sign of freedom in the sky We show no mercy For the world around us ruled by lies Run wild or die in flames The party never ends for us Forever riding free On the waves of the open seas Stand your line Stand your line and tonight Stand your line Stand your line and fight Like greedy leeches Try to take whatever they can take No second chances But we join together in the halls With chains and leather And a poisonless mind in our heads We stand in front row And bang our heads like no tomorrow

One dark night on the ship Amistad A sudden strike from the shadows aboard Rage like wildfire on the sea For the taste of freedom the blood runs red The deck is stained with fire and blood Mutiny the only way With saber and gun they try to defend The fist of slave raised high Amistad rebellion - fight back Hellbent to turn the fate Amistad rebellion - fight back Unchained in rage The faces of soldiers in panic and fear The slaves have taken the ship in their hands The cages are broken and no more chains Now riding the waves with their face in the wind

High Treason 06:38
He was living like a carnivore for joy of life and game He refused to be a blind machine to feed their gold plates One more victim of the greed that turns men into beast The vengeance burned inside his head, now searching for some inner peace …a mindless fool they want him to be With an empty stare in the eyes He rather wanted to destroy their worlds and live by basic needs, He reveal the lies High treason – On your knees or die High treason – Fed up with their lies High treason – The time has come to fight High treason – A lonewolf never gives his life away He was following his path of freedom, running all alone While stinking breathers shouted at him “now get back to work!” Never would they see him more and never tame his ways He could be a waste of life or living free until the final days

Gone for weeks without a sign of land no matter where we turn like a blind old man who walks at random to his grave alone, hope is burned I stayed up that cursed night When far away green mist appeared As I woke the others to tell the sight Their heads turned back in fear It is true, we are doomed Curse of the ghost ship, damned to eternal Roaming in circles under a bleak sky Souls of the ocean, crying to find home Sailing in madness, lost for a thousand moons Closing in with lowered flag A jolly welcome by the crew They tell us not to be afraid Just join the party, drink a few As we fell around the deck in pain A ghastly laughter by the host “Now you must live on so we can die!” Now we are cursed for all eternity Oh we’re cursed, forever Lost forever on our journey, endless years pass by for us The captain roars like mad again to get us home for one last time Nothing seems to end our lives, no reaper with a scythe of death Then a fellow ship shows up afar, remember how we got her first? Now we’ll die, at last! Oh we’re lost!!

Hannibal the fierce commander Leading many thousand men to fight With power and for glory Ride the storms of victory tonight When the ground begins to shake Distant armies grow upon the hills With banners raised up high And swords yet to be fed with lives Loud earthquake from it's hooves Blood running down the mountain walls Screaming out of fear and pain Retreat is the only way Beasts Of War, marching on! War elephants bringing destruction and endless pain, taking lives away Hundreds of dead awaits Thunder walks the battlefields A massive force of unrelenting slaughter is it immortal? No arrow sharp enough to stop it's rage Fire rains upon the monster Roaring forward as the spines turns ice No mercy on it's mind The rampage never stops tonight

Blackbeard 04:49
Riding the Queen Annes Revenge, a fierce and ruthless privateer Fuses tied upon the hat, a madman spreading bloody fear By the words of crew he ruled, no tyrant nor an evil beast He was robbing everything in sight, with saber and six guns, known as Blackbeard! One last battle on the seas, when Robert Maynard chased him down Devastating canon fire, turned the lieutenants ship to wreck Closing in to fight by sword, a melee in the raging storm The fight was on for not too long before the final breath of captain Blackbeard! Blackbeard – hunted merchants Blackbeard – across the seas Blackbeard – not much fortune Blackbeard – or luck by greed Blackbeard – a battled pirate Blackbeard – he burned for gold Blackbeard – a short adventure Blackbeard – great stories told

Out of food, left to die in the sun Now madness is crawling inside They cry for their loved ones, far far away So weakened by hunger and pain … the pain! One clear day the lookout arised, gazing into the horizon Hand ahoy lets get ready to go, faster and finally land somewhere We got wind in the sails Journing afar from from torment's isle We got wind in the sails Escaping death Finally free from the Ocean of hell, resting for days on the beach Endless storage of food for us all, thousands of fruits in our reach Then one day some members were gone Gone like the sun in the nigh Searching the forest to find our mates If only we knew what would come … oh the fear! Hours of searching and no one to find at all Deeper and deeper into the island Shouting for answers but silence is all we get Jungle and mountain is all we can find After a week of searching around we found them bloodied and bruised On a pole struck down in the ground, like a statue of death Roars of the wild started echo afar, now we must run for our lives Chased by the unknown back to the ship Let’s get ready to ride

A massive fortress of cannon, wood and sails A power to be reckoned with, must have been a pompous sight Soon the maiden voyage would reveal its hidden truth Bring the glory to an end, in the depths of the sea Sail with the sun, with the face in the wind as we leaving the shoreline Glory and pride, like a fortress on the sea with the Swedish flag held high The mission was clear, three hundred men aboard Away from the docks, for the journey of times No doubts or questions, no fear in their hearts Now the ride has begun, and they’re ready for war No one knew the tragedy that would come for the ship only minutes ahead No good stability, all testing was failed, at the port Like a time bomb it was doomed from the start, the ultimate countdown has begun… And it’s heading for the end Too much guns, a stern way too high A miscalculation of the highest degree Setting sail with way too much pride The wind would become Vasas Achilles heel Later on as they ploughed through the waves Disaster awaited and nobody knew No much more than a breeze in the wind Now suddenly capsizing, what a shame! Thousands of people were crowded around Oh, they can’t believe the sight of this sinking wreck Down it goes like a stone to the ground Never to be seen again, for hundreds of years Buried deep in the waters, claiming the crews souls Down like a coffin of wood and sail Vasa, total disaster, treasured forever Back in the docks where it once belonged for us to see
