CD

The seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy/Speed Metal band.
Thirteen re-recorded songs from the three first albums of band's career, with modern elements, and without forgetting their roots in Traditional Heavy Metal. And two new songs added as well.
Tracks 1 to 4 and 6 to 13 are re-recorded songs from their first three albums and the "Shoot Her Down" EP.
Track 5 is a song from the Digger album "Stronger than Ever". As Grave Digger split up, the band members formed Digger and commercialized their sound. Although the band members are the same, this song does not belong to the official Grave Digger catalogue.
Tracks 14 and 15 are new songs.
Boltendahl’s voice is better than the early years because it’s lower than he was young and keeps unmistakable, like always. The riffs and solos made by Axel Ritt are better than Masson and would be a great progress when Ritt joined the band. They refreshed their melodies making it current, despite they’re old songs. Another important point is the technology (now, with money, a big label, and musical cutting edge-technology), that helped the band making these songs to sound better than the original.
As a stop-gap and fun way for the band to revisit their roots, "Exhumation (The Early Years)" works well. New fans would be wise to get this, not because Grave Digger's first three albums are anything particularly special, but because to fully appreciate their domination of the '90s (and later), you have to be conscious of their rough and ragged starting point! A nice way to stoke flames long-starved of attention, and give the better cuts from their infancy a chance to crack skulls once again!!

The eighteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy/Power Metal band.
This is the first album to feature new keyboardist Marcus Kniep as The Reaper since H.P. Katzenburg's departure in 2014.
The boys still sound fairly spry for their age and as always, you can imagine these songs going over pretty well live. At this point in their lengthy career, Grave Digger are writing from a template older than many of our readers, and though it makes for painfully familiar song craft, it still works to some extent. Cuts like “Lawbreaker” and “Free Forever” approximate a merger of "Painkiller" era Priest with recent U.D.O. material, and that’ll always get a little blood pumping in Metallic fossils. The same goes for straight-ahead mouth breathers like “Call for War” and “Hallelujah” which put the boot to you without subtlety in classic Teutonic style. Wisely, the band keeps the adrenaline level pretty high throughout, which is when they’re at their troglodyte best. The riffing is in-your-face, the solos are out of hand, and the songs hits like a sucker punch in church.
After 37 years of metallic rabble-rousing, neither time nor tide seem able to silence these grave robbing fiends. These Heavy Metal legends will snap your neck, all while healing you with epic melodies and anthems!

The seventh EP of legendary German Heavy/Power Metal band.
Finally, a new release from Grave Digger. It’s been awhile since “Liberty or Death” and it’s time for us to feast once again! What special on this EP is the cover of Motorhead’s “Overkill”. It's unbelievable! It’s safe to say this is the best Motorhead cover!! To be honest, it actually seems faster. Boltendahl’s vocal style fits perfectly with the song, although no one can beat Lemmy, he’s pretty damn close. Yes, it’s that good. The solos are performed perfectly, the bass sounds like Lemmey’s only much better produced, and the drums are furiously played. 
The production on EP is neat. Very crystal clear, raw guitar sound, and Boltendahl’s vocals lies perfectly in there. Band have here concentrated on good, rocking songs instead of the a bit softer material on the last EP. The band has found new life with the addition of a new guitarist. This EP has served its purpose, to be a good warm-up for the upcoming full-length album “Ballads Of A Hangman”. If you’ve never heard the band this is a good start!!

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy/Power Metal band.
Grave Digger’s name is already written in Gold in the book of Heavy Metal. Be it the German Metal band’s presence for more than 25 years, enough classic Metal hymns they’ve contributed to the majesty of our music or the non-stop quality of their honest Metallic releases, it’s no news the world of Heavy/Power Metal owes a lot to the clan surrounding the fine figure of Chris Boltendahl.
The first album to feature guitarist Axel Ritt (from Domain), "The Clans Will Rise Again" is a "loose sequel" to their "Tunes Of War" album (1996), but this time not a concept album about the Scottish history, rather a work about Scotland, its mysticism and its people. 
“The Clans Will Rise Again” smells like it’s going to turn out to be another moment of musical clarity for one of the godfathers of real Heavy/Speed Metal made in Germany and Central Europe in general. It’s classic post-“Tunes Of War” Speed/Heavy Metal with its epic/heroic moments, and you should certainly have no fear thinking of how shall Chris Boltendahl sing on this album. Chris is quite an experienced vocalist and has no difficulty in dressing each song with the harmonies needed, and it’s quite significant to mention here that he ties really well with some solo leads Axel delivers in certain parts.
It’s pretty much an even contest between this album and the last one, and in the case of both, arguably the best work put out by the band since the late 90s. The union of Grave Digger and Alex Ritt has a lot of potential for future fits of studio produced glory, and just as likely also a riveting live album.
In the absence of Running Wild and Metal Church from the dwindling ranks of 80s Power Metal mainstays, this is one of the few remnants that has basically maintained their sound and kept it free from modern influences. It has all the charm of a grand tail from the Highlands, and the bombastic bagpipes to match!

The eighth compilation album by legendary German Heavy/Power Metal band.
Grave Digger played Teutonic Speed Metal band in their first few years, but then slow down a bit and start making traditional Heavy Metal with a few Speed elements. They split up and then became Digger (1986-1987) and then Hawaii (1988-1991), before reforming as Grave Digger in 1991.
This compilation contains material from that tumultuous period: "Bottles And Four Coconuts" Demo (1989), "Return Of The Reaper" Demo (1991), and "For Promotion Only!!" EP (1992). Line-up features Uwe Lullis (Accept). Remastered & restored by Achilleas Kalantzis (Varathron, Possesed, Sacramentum).
Unsurprisingly, most songs sound like the Grave Digger of the '80s, a more basic and straightforward, catchy style of Heavy Metal than what they've been doing since the '90s with various concept albums. If you're expecting some horrific material here, you'll don't hear anything that put you off on this compilation. Surprisingly, everything flows rather well and doesn't sound disjointed!
The CD includes a copious booklet with an extensive liner notes from original and founding member Chris Boltendahl with Pim Blankenstein, and rare and exclusive pictures.

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length album by the cult Swedish Death Metal band.
If any person wants to start listening to Grave, their debut should be the first album that should be introduced! This is totally Grave's best album!! As you listen to this album, you could notice that it's filled with influences from Autopsy and Sepultura, but it's as if Autopsy or Sepultura went down to the depths of hell, came back, and recorded this album. That's what this album sounds like. It's far more aggressive and brutal than Severed Survival, Sepultura's “Schizophrenia” and “Beneath The Remains” (though, those albums are masterpieces as well). The album isn't extremely long to where you want to shoot yourself because you can't finish it, and it's not too short. It's approximately forty-two minutes, a perfect length, and those will be the most brutal forty-two minutes of your life! The musicianship on this album is excellent, is some of the best from any band in the Swedish Death Metal scene!
Overall, this album is definitely Grave's best album and one of the best Death Metal debuts worldwide. “Into The Grave” is one unbelievably insane album with intense songs that will completely get you hooked on this band!!
 Re-issue includes “Tremendous Pain” EP, rare pre-production demo track, tracks from "In The Eyes Of Death I" Compilation and previously unreleased versions of tracks + “Soulles” video as a bonuses.

First re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Death Metal band.
Grave followed their classic debut, "Into the Grave", with an equally fearsome, if less recognized album. Swedish oldschool Death Metal in the vein of Entombed and Dismember, but with a heavier and more malevolent feel. The songs on "You'll Never See..." are constructed of simple riffs and relatively straightforward compositions, Technical Death Metal. Grave's charm instead lies in the conviction of their delivery rather than their instrumental prowess. Every song is in fused with an all-consuming, yet organic heft and seething brutality. The tracks are a mix of mid-paced chugging, slow grooves and occasional bursts of speed. The vocals are a fairly deep, guttural growl, but not entirely indecipherable. The drumming is simple but effective, with liberal use of double bass. Guitar solos are short, uncluttered affairs, competent and well-placed, but not overly heroic. The album recorded at legendary Sunlight Studios.
What makes this album great is that Grave’s reach never exceeds their grasp. Grave set out to create a brutally heavy, evil Death Metal record, and they succeed in spades. The album flows seamlessly from one thick slab of death to the next with unrelenting power. “You’ll Never See...” is a crushing classic, a pleasure for every Death Metal fan… buy it without fear!

The first studio mini-album by legendary Swedish Death Metal band.
One of the longest-running Swedish Death Metal bands has created a sound and style which has been an inspiration for a number of Extreme Metal bands. The band started in 1986 under the name Corpse and changed it to Grave in 1988. The band had particular success in the early 1990s, and their first four albums, "Into The Grave", "You’ll Never See…", "Soulless" and "Hating Life", cemented their reputation as one of Sweden’s foremost Death Metal bands.
"…And Here I Die… Satisfied" features brand new, rare and remixed tracks encompassing the band’s entire recording history. Designed to mark the end of an era for the outfit, this mini-album set the stage for the release of the trio’s long-awaited third full-length offering.

Remastered re-release of the sixth demo album by legendary Polish Black Metal band.
Re-release of the cult material of the band, first time using other mix, which was never published before for 20 years, with alternative versions of the tracks.
“The Celtic Winter” originally was planned as an EP, but failed due to financial reasons. So it was released as the 6th demo tape in 1994. It was re-released on MCD format in 1994 with only three songs, and then re-released again on CD format in 1996.
"The Celtic Winter" emerges from a fusion of romantic melody and Raw Black Metal in the context of waltzlike, dreamtime music with classical aspirations delivered in microambient doses through its complexity of barren minimalist structure. Fundamental intensity in this music derives from the tension between its melodic progression and its violent, half-dancelike war-step rhythm. The songs are written in middle tempo. Darken's vocals contain a lot of reverb. He used atmospheric keyboards and slow guitars, which had some similarity to Celtic Frost's "To Mega Therion". Building on the foundations of Bathory, Graveland turn sequences of simple phrases into gradually expanding sound scapes of wintery battles. The mid-tempo riffs, which often dance around power chord shapes on top of simple drum beats in a typical Black Metal manner are rife with tension and augmented by an occasional use of keyboards that appears to be informed by early Emperor, although the approach here is more restrictive, as the keyboards usually either just double the guitar melody or provide a harmonic extension to the underlying riffs. In spite of this fairly straightforward use, the keyboard lines intensify the music considerably whenever they make an appearance, floating above the rest of the music like cold winds on a battlefield.
While this is not a very flashy release and does not quite aspire to the heights of the most prominent Norwegian classics, "The Celtic Winter" should not be overlooked, as it offers an interpretation of Black Metal that stands on very firm ground, with strong songwriting throughout, fraught with tension and bone-jarring coldness...
American edition re-release features four never released before tracks, many never published before photos, a 20-page full-coloured booklet enriched with a new graphic design, and a replication of the original 4-page b/w booklet.

First remastered re-release of the fifth demo album by legendary Polish Black Metal band.
Graveland is definitely one of the fewer bands that promoted Eastern Black Metal in a sombre, savage and unique way back in the glorious 90s. Underneath the carefully-styled melodic aspirations and chantlike cadences of this music unfurls the hybrid of Epic Metal and aggressive atonal Hardcore that forms the internal pressure in the gently unfolding sound of Graveland. Their unification of simple Black Metal themes with classical structural principles have enabled this band to hold ground with their long and wandering compositions, dreamlike in their simple melody and poetic recombination.
Graveland's style started as Raw Black Metal. Lyrically, on the early works, Darken was inspired by Celtic beliefs. Demo was originally released in 1993, on cassette format. Many have called this "The most hateful Black Metal demo of all time!" It was then re-released in 1996 on CD format, and again in 1999. The demo is "inspired by 'Holy War' waged in Norwegian Black Metal Underground against Christianity".
American edition re-release features four never released before tracks, many never published before photos, a 20-page full-coloured booklet enriched with a new graphic design, and a replication of the original 4-page b/w booklet.

Russian edition of the sixth full-length album by russian Industrial Groove Modern Death Metal band.
“Lifelong Days” is basically overflowing with interesting song ideas. Grenouer even seems more than capable of shifting the band's entire personality within individual songs in order to make it sound more enthusiastic and interesting. There are noticeable influences from outright Death Metal in some moments while at other times, when the song requires it, they send out a Groovier almost Nu Metal vibe. This is quite obviously a heavier offering than “Computer Crime”. There are borderline brutal moments of double-bass kicks and a veritable abundance deep, heavy detuned guitar riffs. The album plays for 46 minutes, and every second is a joy to listen to. Even the production is fantastic. The band sounds absolutely massive with a good sizzle on the guitars to keep things firmly on the Metal side of the term "Nu Metal." If you dig really groovy modernized Metal with a hint of good Death Metal, you can go with Grenouer!!

Re-release of the fourth full-length album by russian Death Metal band.
Grenouer show good musical skills and experience and they don'€™t rush into things. War machine crawls down to peaceful villages and town and then tramples them down. The sound of the album is thick and intentionally monotonous, industrialized and memorable. "Presence With War" sounds solid enough and recommended for fans of Bolt Thrower or Benediction!
Re-edition contains bonus track and new cover!

The eighth full-length album by russian Alternative Metal/Rock band.
There are times in our days that we must deal with some kind of new stuff, being inside or outside musical world. In this last case, many things are being done in this very moment of Rock/Metal history. Of course, bands with new insights and more experimental ways of making music suffer a lot due the old and dusty way of thinking of Metalheads. And Big Daddy must say again: what belongs the past, must stay in the past, for a brighter future is awaiting us all. And on the case of Russian quartet Grenouer, they are really looking to the future, but with grounded feet in the present. And their album “Unwanted Today” is a fine and refreshing surprise for our ears.
First of all, the band uses a heavy and melodic insight of a Hard Rock/Rock vision with some elements used on modern Metal styles. It’s something that mix Pop and Rock influences with a Gothic rock esthetic, putting some distorted riffs and electronic effects here and there. This mixture makes their sound accessible to a broader public, but has a melodic grasp that holds the listener by the ears. Good clean vocals (with some distorted ones, like we are used to hear from modern bands), fine riffs and good solos on guitars (sometimes more melodic, other ones more aggressive and heavier), and a very good work done on rhythmic kitchen.
The sound quality of “Unwanted Today” is clear and very accessible, but having the necessary weight the band needs. Besides the album could be a bit heavier, it’s good to hear songs like “Unwanted Today” (that starts with a heavy weight riff, seeming a New Metal song in some aspects, but soon the melodies took over), the introspective “On a Rainy Day” (a more melodic and catching song, with a fine work done by bass guitar), and “Point of No Return”. They really are hooking, based on strong choruses and very simple melodies.
Good album!

The second full-length album by Ukrainian Gothic/Doom Metal band.
The second work of Kyiv’s Goths took the best features of the previous album with adding more electronics and stylistic diversity enriched by powerful sound. Anders Jacobsson and Lisa Johansson from the legendary Swedish Gothic Doom Metal band Draconian appear as guest vocalists at the album! “Preacher Creature” also features energetic cover to Mick Jagger song "God Gave Me Everything".
Instrumentally, despite of the heavy usage of keys, band doing a decent job, as one can hear that we are dealing here with dedicated and trained professionals. Thus, one can hear some nice and robust guitar parts, dynamic drumming and the inclusion of other interesting non-Metal instruments.
Recommended for those into: The Sisters Of Mercy, Moregrim, Alcest, Draconian and similar acts!

The first EP by Ukrainian Black Metal band.
Stylistically, EP goes mostly in the manner of “Sacrilegium” - this is the same good old orthodox mid-tempo Black Metal. The Gromm style is now well recognized from the very first riffs; all tracks start and finish abruptly, no openings and fadings.
Production is quite good; but sound changed and developed, all instruments are clear and listenable. Guitars aren’t buzzing anymore like on earlier works, they became ponderous and viscous and still brought to the forefront, creating powerful avalanche of sound. Bass lines emerging with guitars add extra heaviness. Good music-writing abilities of guitarist BaalBerith still taken place, because memorizing catchy tunes are present in each track. Vocals became shriller and more malicious; sometimes even hysterical, changing from raptorial growl on “Crown of Rust” to demonic shriek on “The Pest of Black Metal” and adding a fairly large part of savageness to the whole atmosphere of the album. All lyrics are in English now, but one can hardly make out a single word in Nabath’s bestial screaming. “Pilgrimage…” features live drums, their sound is clear and resonant in contrast to all previous Gromm’s albums including “Sacrilegium”. Efficient performance of drummer definitely enriched rhythmical pattern.
Whole album is very good. “Pilgrimage Amidst The Catacombs Of Negativism” maybe was a test record, but the result exceeded all expectations! Evident progress is on hand, ‘cause musical content of this MCD is head and shoulders above Gromm’s previous works!!
