Preacher`s Purgatory

Preacher's Purgatory is a project formed in 2026 around Gerald "Preacher" Warnecke, founding guitarist of Running Wild (1982–1985), performing the early Running Wild albums "Gates to Purgatory" and "Under Jolly Roger" live. He is joined by longtime Running Wild drummer Stefan Schwarzmann (also Accept, Helloween, U.D.O.), vocalist Nima Sadeghi (Steel Shock), and Rikki and Jérémy Mannhard (ex-Lonewolf, Mystery Blue) on bass and guitar.
