Branded and Exiled

by Running Wild

Branded and Exiled cover art

Released rapidly after their debut, this sophomore album is a crucial early document of the developing German speed metal scene. 'Branded and Exiled' utilizes relentless, galloping palm-muted riffs and Rock 'n' Rolf's gruff vocals, leaning heavily into dark, satanic imagery before the band adopted their famous pirate aesthetic. The aggressive, uncompromising record remains highly respected among traditional heavy metal purists.
