Maybe you noticed it on our MySpace already, and it was rumored in our forum, but now we'd like to announce it officially: Welcome Jan S. Eckert (MASTERPLAN) as our new bass-player. Jan will join us for an unforgettable show in Wacken on July 30, 2009.

A breathtaking four-and-a-half-minute trailer for "ReUnation - A Tribute To Running Wild" featuring Romanian Evil Metal band SATANOCHIO's version of "Siberian Winter" is available now and can be viewed at myspace.com/reunation.

SATANOCHIO recorded the track in their dark cellar deep down below the streets of Bucharest and it was mixed by Marius Costache, the band's sound engineer with whom they previously worked on the "Vagrant Matter Heritage" EP and the "From Beyond" album. The song was mastered in Sweden at the Sonic Train Studios by KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque.

It's time to reveal the back cover artwork of "ReUnation - A Tribute To Running Wild", which was designed by acclaimed artist Costin Chioreanu:



Once again Costin caught the current situation perfectly and created an affectionately detailed artwork which combines his own sight of things with the nearing end of RUNNING WILD and a major part of the lyrics created by Rolf Kasparek.

Commented Chioreanu: "The back cover artwork has even more importance than the front, because at the moment I finished the front cover artwork I was not aware of the fact that RUNNING WILD's long-lasting journey is about to come to an end. When I finally heard about the news I had so many emotions in my heart and when I took the pencil to build a simple sketch for the back cover artwork I felt that I had to create something special with a darker atmosphere. Adrian, who always suggested possible directions, reached the end of his journey and in front of his eyes earth is eaten by the flames of doom. I even imagine his very last words: "You treat the world as you treat each other..."

So it has been written, so it shall be done?!
