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.
A new lyric video for the furious album title track can be found below.
