Info:

The pirate theme is awesome in every genre including heavy metal, but have you ever stopped to think who were the first to integrate a pirate theme and imagery to their lyrics and sound? No, me neither, but the answer is Running Wild, back in 1987, a popular German heavy/speed/power metal band who were around for 33 years before splitting up after 13 full length albums under their belt. They've influenced a large array of bands over the years, so Remedy Records had an idea and asked a whole bunch of these bands to record their interpretations of Running Wild classics. The result is "ReUnation: A Tribute To Running Wild", 31 tracks, 2 discs, and 155 minutes worth of metal bands covering Running Wild songs.
Now if you're a huge Running Wild fan who's kept up with the times and newer metal bands, this is guaranteed to be a real treat because you get to hear so many different sounds and versions of the original songs. The package basically offers everything from melodeath to black metal to strictly power metal renditions of the originals, some better than others, so in a way it's like a treasure chest hidden on a desert island for any burgeoning Running Wild pirate.

Well, Stormwitch had few songs on the pirate-theme (Skull& Crossbones, Tigers of the sea etc.) even earlier, but they never were focussed on that theme alone, as RW did starting with Under Jolly Roger.
