Grave Digger

German hard 'n' heavy legends Bonfire proudly present a covers album extraordinaire: Legends pays tribute to numerous legendary artists of the rock and metal scene who all have toured with them. The personal connection can be felt throughout the entire double album (which consist of 32 songs in total). No matter if Bonfire give Toto's "Africa" or "Eye Of The Tiger" (Survivor) their individual touch or even enter heavy metal territory (Grave Digger's "Rebellion") - it's perfectly executed and recognizable as Bonfire versions right away.

Tainted LSD, loud motorcycles, and a series of brutal deaths spawned inspiration for guitar-wielding teenagers across the globe. Implementing deafening fuzz and satanic screams to create their proto-metal monstrosities, short-lived stoner bands pressed their lysergic experiments in microscopic quantities before blacking out entirely. Lifted from the ashes of the acid rock hell fire are 18 distorted tales of dope fiends, pill poppers, and the baddest of trips.

Many in the field of high speed German steel have come and gone since its heyday in the 1980s, but veteran speed/power metal fence-sitters Rage have endured long past most of the competition, and have been among the most prolific progenitors of the art form to boot…
