Running Wild is a German heavy metal band that was formed in 1979 in Hamburg. The band originated from the group 'Granite Hearts' which was created by *Rolf Kasparek* in 1976. Known for their energetic and powerful sound, Running Wild has become one of the most influential bands in the heavy metal genre.

With a career spanning over four decades, Running Wild has released numerous albums and gained a dedicated fan base worldwide. Their music combines elements of traditional heavy metal with themes inspired by pirates, history, and fantasy. This unique blend has earned them a distinct place within the metal community.

Influenced by bands such as Grave Digger, Virgin Steele, and Rage among others, Running Wild's music is characterized by catchy guitar riffs, pounding drums, and powerful vocals. Their energetic live performances have captivated audiences around the globe.

Under Jolly Roger is the third studio album by German heavy metal band Running Wild. It marked a stylistic turning point in which the group dropped the Satanic imagery they had previously used and adopted the pirate theme they would become known for, creating and influencing the later named pirate metal subgenre of heavy metal in the 2000s in the process. The album's title comes from the famous Jolly Roger, the flag used by pirates to identify their ships.
