Angelo Sasso was a heavy metal drummer credited for playing the drums on two Running Wild albums, Victory and The Brotherhood. It was suspected that a drum machine was used in recording these two albums and that "Angelo Sasso" is simply a fictional person used to cover this up. This was denied by Running Wild's guitarist Rolf Kasparek, who claimed that "Angelo Sasso" is actually a pseudonym of a friend of his, who didn't want to be credited under his real name. "Angelo Sasso" became a running joke in the German metal community, with other bands crediting their drums to "Angelo Sasso" where drum machines were used. According to Kasparek, Angelo Sasso died of a heart attack in 2007.
