Running Wild – Gates To Purgatory – Vinyl LP

Gates to Purgatory is the debut studio album by German heavy metal band Running Wild, released in 1984. It predates their piracy themes and has mostly satanically-influenced lyrics but also features songs with anarchic and libertarian (in the sense of European libertarianism) themes. It was in part of Gerald “Preacher” Warnecke’s studies in theology. He left the band soon after the album’s release to become a priest. This special yellow vinyl version is limited edition.
