In the year 1993 three ex-members of the world famous German Metal band Running Wild decided to form a new band called X-Wild. After searching for a fitting singer they found Frank Knight from Manchester / England. They were meeting several times for song writing in Rendsburg in the North of Germany, before they entered the studio to record their first album called "So What!" The recordings took place in the famous Studio M in Machtsum near Hildesheim in Germany on November/December 1993. In this studio were also recorded the two most successful Running Wild albums "Death Or Glory" and "Blazon Stone".

It was even engineered and mixed by the same man: Jan Nemec. Never change a winning team! After the success of their debut album they entered the studio again in 1995 to record their second album called “Monster Effect”. It was again in Studio M which in the meantime had changed to Celle / Germany. The recordings were made with the same people involved like on the first record. After the release of “Monster Effect” the band went on an European Tour as special guest of German band Grave Digger to promote the album.
