The title track "Crossing The Blades" as the opener of the EP is the center of interest. The special thing about this song: it is at the same time a harbinger of the regular album announced for summer 2020, but will still remain unique in its current form. Because, says Kasparek: "This version only exists on the Crossing The Blades EP. The album will get another version later, and it will be completely re-recorded with minor changes." The second track on the EP is called "Stargazed" and should already be familiar to many Wacken visitors. Because this number Running Wild had presented to the 2018 W:O.A audience world-exclusively and reaped enthusiastic applause for it. Third in the bunch is the Kiss cover "Strutter", intended as a tribute to Rolf's very first idols, of course in typical Running Wild manner and with a little more steam than the original Kiss version. Last but not least: The new EP ends with "Ride On The Wild Side", which almost would have been shortlisted for the announced album due to its powerful pace and high compositional quality.
