If you are aware of Germany's heavy/speed/power metal scene it's very likely that you've heard of Running Wild's legendary series of 90's classic albums. What makes these albums stand out are the (at the time) novel pirate theme of some of the lyrics, the blend of riff oriented mid-tempo songs and full speed power metal songs with tremolo-picked melodies and catchy choruses. So after many albums of quality songwriting in the same style some of the material would start to sound tired, which for most happened around the still-pretty-good Masquerade album.
