CD: Running Wild - Masquerade	Released: 1995
Reviewed By: Dave Elder (FaceInTheSky)	Rating: (4/5)

OK, by now you should know about Running Wild and if not..GO LOOK AT MY PAST REVIEWS! Masquerade is the follow up to Black Hand Inn and this is a little bit of an improvement over it. They trimmed down the songs by 3 tracks to cut back on the chance at boring songs or filler, which neither are on here. From start to finish this album is an ass kicker of an album. Well, once the actually songs start it is. The musical tracks start off with the title track which is a full throttle headbanging song, it doesn't let up on you. Once that song is over they hit you with "Demonized" which is a little slower, but still has heavy as the first song. Other great songs off this album that you should check out are, "Lions of the Sea," "Rebel At Heart," and "Metalhead" You know any song about metal is going to be good for a listen. :)

Like I said above, this album is as solid as they come. Once I put this album into my stereo when I got it I couldn't take it out for about a month, and like I said in past reviews, if you like the heavier side of power metal then make sure to check out this band. You will not be let down.
