RUNNING WILD To Begin Recording New Album In August

German power metallers RUNNING WILD will begin rehearsals in June for their upcoming European festival appearances. "Unfortunately there are no more festivals confirmed yet than Gates Of Metal, Sweden and Rockwave, Greece," the band write on their web site. "[Frontman] Rolf — by the way — has not yet recovered perfectly [from tendovaginitis in his left arm], therefore the recordings for the new album will start after the festivals, probably in August/September this year." An early 2005 release is expected.
