CD Reviews

Incredible German METAL
Crypt | Arkham | 10/17/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Ok kiddies, it's time to sell your Korn, Slipknot, and Disturbed cds and pick this beauty up! This German 5-piece have been around since the 80's and have been serving up some dark and truly heavy Metal since. Don't let the 80's thing scare you though. (not that 80's music is bad) Remember Metallica came from the 80's too. Contrary to what the last reviewer said, this album is crushingly HEAVY and a few songs contain some awesome sing along choruses. This is what TRUE Metal is all about. Thrashing rhythms, screaming and roaring guitars and growling vocals - almost death metal-ish in their extremity, but the singer is quite able to sing actual melodies through the harsh gruff vocal scraping. Very unique sounding. And did I mention it was DARK? I could call it Gothic Metal but I don't want people to think this sounds like My Dying Bride, Type-o-Negative or Moonspell. They use really spooky sounding keyboards on songs like Son Of Evil, and that bone chilling pipe organ on Raven. Awesome... And Funeral Procession is one of the darkest and most sinister sounding Heavy Metal songs since early Candlemass and Black Sabbath! I'll tell you why Nuclear Blast signed this band; Because they rock!"
A tribute to Horror
L. C. Arteaga | Guatemala city, Guatemala | 11/03/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is arguably the BEST Grave Digger album yet. A tribute to Edgar Allen Poe, each song is actually a horror tale turned power metal. That's right, if you listen to the lyrics you'll notice each song to be good horror material, that, combined to some really heavy sound, the new guitar player Manni Shmidt, and a very dark background and you'll get one album darker than the previous ones and more impresive. Also this one seems to be Nuclear Blast's limited version since it includes bonus track 12 "Black Cat". Very Nice."
Even better than the last
stygiansteel | Terryville, CT United States | 06/01/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Grave Digger eases off the power metal concept albums and the result is a disc even better than the last (which I gave 5 stars by the way). This is just brutally heavy and sounds even darker than they usually do. The guitar sound has thickened and the drums kick in nicely, adding to the heaviness. Always a unique band in the power metal world with their deep, gruff vocals, they continue on in their own style. These guys only improve with age. Nice to hear a power metal act which has it's own sound with all the Iron Maiden and Judas Priest emulators out there."
