"I just recently got into this band. Grave Digger has always been one of those band's I'd heard of, but never really heard. Now I'm kicking myself for not listening to them sooner. This is power metal, but not your typical style. The vocalist definetly breaks the predictable mold and comes across with something very different. Gruff, deep, and powerful, I think he's what really makes the band. Of course the nasty, ultra-heavy distortion doesn't hurt matters and makes the songs very catchy and headbangable. If you like heavy, dark power acts like Nevermore or Eidolon this is an absolute must. Also worth noting is the entirely different take from the norm on the 'big chorus'. Grave Digger manages to use this with maximum effect and without the cheese factor of bands like Blind Guardian. The choruses tend to be deep and menacing with an evil chant quality to them. Don't waste anymore time. Buy this NOW."
