Death or Glory is a heavy metal album by German band Running Wild. One of their most successful releases, it contains the concert favourites "Riding the Storm" and "Bad to the Bone". The final track, "March On", was not included on the vinyl release due to space constraints.

The album is the best selling Running Wild album.^{[citation needed]} The album sold 55,000 records in its first week, has sold more the 2,000,000 records in Germany, over 150,000 in the USA, and over 3,000,000 records total.^{[citation needed]}

They made a video to the live video to the song Bad to the Bone. That was recorded in Düsseldorf. And the song had some airtime at MTVs Headbangers Ball.

The remastered version of the album contains 1991's Wild Animal EP, albeit with a different running order than that of the original.

Riding the Storm also had a live video that was also shot in Düsseldorf with a crowd of nearly 9,000 attendees.
