Shadowmaker is the fourteenth studio album by German heavy metal band Running Wild, released on 20 April 2012. It is the band's first studio album since 2005's Rogues en Vogue, and the first since the band's return, after breaking up in 2009.
Since the band's return to the scene, Rolf wrote 10 new tracks for Shadowmaker, among them are the midtempo opener 'Piece Of The Action', the uptempo number 'Shadowmaker' (roughly the same pace as 'Angel Of Mercy' from Rogues en Vogue) and the monumental eight-minute track 'Dracula', based on Bram Stoker's novel and the Christopher Lee movies. In an interview, he talks about the album:
"To me, Shadowmaker is a very special album because there was no pressure, time wise or otherwise. I feel it's clearly audible that this relaxed attitude helped me to write one of the strongest Running Wild recordings of all time."
All songs written and composed by Rolf Kasparek
The limited edition (showing the album cover with a darker silver image than the original shown above) comes with a DVD in a black jewel case and slipcase that contains the making of the album and a track-by-track commentary session by Rolf Kasparek
