Pirate metal has become it's own subgenre with several bands falling into the category, but there was one band that was swashbuckling and plundering for booty before all others, even before 1987 when they released the first pirate themed metal album, Under Jolly Roger. So weigh anchor and hoist the sails, me buckos, as we take a look at the life and albums of the very first pirate metal band, Running Wild.
