Grave Digger

2025 will not only mark the 45th anniversary of German iconic metal institution, Grave Digger, but the release of their 23rd studio album “Bone Collector”, that is slated for a release on January 17, 2025 via ROAR! Founded in 1980 in Gladbeck, they set out to conquer the world; who would have thought that 45 years later Grave Digger would be one of the most important, consistent and influential metal bands from Germany. With the release of their ground-breaking debut "Heavy Metal Breakdown" in 1984, an unprecedented career began that will find its logical continuation more than four decades later with the band's much-waited new masterpiece “Bone Collector”, an album that sees the band going back to their old school roots.

With metal anthems like 'Heavy Metal Breakdown', GRAVE DIGGER are one of the most influential and pioneering bands of the German heavy metal scene since the early 80s, and 2020 will celebrate the 40th anniversary of these Teutonic metal masters! The ethos of the band has not changed, and yet GRAVE DIGGER sound modern and timeless like never before. On their 20th studio album, the band around frontman Chris Boltendahl continues their epic Highlands story. Fields of Blood is the logic consequence of a legendary trilogy and an auditory battle of unique traditional metal! Drifting riff masterpieces such as the stoic “All For The Kingdom”, or the epic anthem “Lions Of The Sea”, promise earworm and neck muscle training, while Fields Of Blood takes us into the vastness of Scotland on a journey through explosive sound landscapes.

Grave Digger have been an integral part of the German heavy metal scene for over 4 decades. Chris Boltendahl, Axel Ritt, Jens Becker and Marcus Kniep are not only a fixture in the live area, they also regularly deliver high-quality heavy metal albums. On their latest album "Symbol Of Eternity" they continue to spin the story of the Crusaders… after dealing with it on the album "Knights of the Cross" they are now devoting themselves again to the legendary history of the Templars. Razor-sharp riffs, opulent choir arrangements and the distinctive voice of Chris Boltendahl are components of Grave Digger's new work. All the hallmarks that have characterized the band for 4 decades are continued on the new album and make "Symbol Of Eternity" an original and heavy album.
