Rapid Foray is the sixteenth studio album by the German heavy metal band Running Wild. It was released by Steamhammer Records on 26 August 2016.[1] The album was delayed due to Rolf Kasparek's shoulder injury, and their subsequent show at Wacken in 2015. A lyric video was made for "Black Bart".

According to Kasparek, he recorded the vocals, and guitars at his personal studio while Peter Jordan recorded guitar solos, drums, and choruses. Three studios were involved in the recording process. He also mentioned that only three musicians took part on the album
