Work3

They are probably the least effective songs on the album along with One Night One Day which really doesn't work bordering on power ballad territory. (blogspot.com)
The lead guitar work from Phil Tougas is simply astonishing and likely to make any aspiring guitarist rage quit on the spot, sounding at times like Yngwie Malmsteen playing extreme metal with tons of neo-classical shredding played at a million miles an hour. (blogspot.com)
Guitar2
You have the guitars following in the spells of Roger Trigaux's Guitar, Jazzy bass lines, Xylophones, and odd signatures that will get the jaw dropping with right momentum. (blogspot.com)
During most songs the lead guitar and the bass are both competing for the limelight and both are so equally impressive it is hard to know which to focus on. (blogspot.com)

(blogspot.com)
Here, the band really takes the homage to Frank Zappa as if he had rewritten Meredith Wilson's musical, The Music Man and made it a wacky and insane musical avant-rock dixieland opera. (blogspot.com)

Like any band that has been going as long as they have, Running Wild have had their ups and downs but can generally be relied upon to release a solid album of Teutonic power metal. (blogspot.com)
And that's exactly what Blood On Blood is - a solid and reliable album of anthemic and fist pumping heavy metal with songs soaked in blood and gunpowder such as Wings Of Fire , Diamonds And Pearls and Crossing The Blades . (blogspot.com)
Whilst a lot better than albums such as Rogues En Vogue and Shadowmaker, this album doesn't hold a candle to albums from the band's heyday such as Under Jolly Roger , Blazon Stone , Port Royal , Black Hand Inn and Death Or Glory . (blogspot.com)
It is still however a very enjoyable album that will be best accompanied by some cold beers (like all good heavy metal) and some of these songs will sound fantastic should Running Wild get to tour the album anytime soon. (blogspot.com)

Equally impressive is the bass playing of Dominic "Forest" Lapointe who demands attention with his fretless wizardry certainly at times bringing to mind the mighty Les Claypool with moments throughout the album that sound like if Primus decided to become a technical death metal band with basslines that are as funky as they are technically insane. (blogspot.com)
With ten songs spread across 71 minutes it is just way too long and by about the fourth song things start to get a bit repetitive and despite the musical pyrotechnics being exploded into my ears I did find my attention waning on the second half of the album. (blogspot.com)
Genre1

Sound1
You can imagine the band having a blast going into bonkers mode as they have the humoristic elements that would have given Weird Al Yankovic a chance to be taken by surprise of their sound and could be a perfect track for the Dr. Demento show. (blogspot.com)
Shows1
However, he was discouraged by the thought of having to perform live shows and opted to discontinue his involvement with the band. (squidco.com)
Tracks1
The chamber musical operatic touches of styles of Alban Berg bring an eerie touching tribute to Mario Marenco's poetry of Sognavo as Laura's voice reminiscent of Pierrot Lunaire's Jacqueline Darby while the two tracks see MNP going into a Marching Band mode. (blogspot.com)
