2010-07-15 ***THE CLANS WILL RISE AGAIN*** - GRAVE DIGGER RELEASE ALBUMTITLE AND TRACKLIST
THE DEED IS DONE! The new Grave Digger album has been recorded and mixed! Together with new member Axel Ritt on guitars, the band entrenched themselves from mid-Mai to mid-July at the MEADOW STUDIOS of Axel Ritt and the PRINCIPAL STUDIOS, the place all albums have been recordet since "Heart Of Darkness" in 1995. Mixed by Jörg Umbreit and produced by Chris Boltendahl, THE CLANS WILL RISE AGAIN will lead the listeners back to the scotish highlands.
Chris Boltendahl, Jens Becker, Stefan Arnold, HP Katzenburg and Axel Ritt offer an explosive mixture of the typical GRAVE DIGGER riff metal, combined with awesome epic chorus hooks, which will fascinate the fans from the very first note. THE CLANS ARE BACK FOR ATTACK!
THE CLANS WILL RISE AGAIN is a loose sequel of the TUNES OF WAR album, but this time not a concept album about the scotish history, rather a work about scotland, it's mysticism and it's people.
THE CLANS WILL RISE AGAIN will be released in Europe by Napalm Records Oct. 1st 2010.
The tracklist:
1. DAYS OF REVENGE
2. PAID IN BLOOD
3. HAMMER OF THE SCOTS
4. HIGHLAND FAREWELL
5. THE CLANS WILL RISE AGAIN
6. REBELS
7. VALLEY OF TEARS
8. EXECUTION
9. WHOM THE GODS LOVE DIE YOUNG
10. SPIDER
11. THE PIPER McLEOD
12. COMING HOME
13. WHEN RAIN TURNS TO BLOOD

Last week, we entered the recording studio, having a lot of fun combined with high motivation. We'll put some more videos online, so stay tuned.
Have fun and hope to see you soon.
Metal on

2010-05-04 NOW IT BECOMES SERIOUS - GRAVE DIGGER STUDIO UPDATE
Hello Fans,
yes, everything's on it's way, we're right in the middle of the recordings to the successor of the "Ballad Of A Hangman" and a lot has happened since the release of the that album. Nothing stays the same, but nothing has changed ;-)
From January to March, we took our time for the new songwriting. Because of the appearance of Axel, we finally returned to the virtue, that we've lost that long ago. The triumvirate of metal, Jens Becker, Axel Ritt and Chris Boltendahl battened in harmony while the whole songwriting session and created 12 explosive songs, which got the spirit of Grave Digger for two-hundred percent. Since the days of "Tunes Of War" and "The Grave Digger", the creativity around the songwriting process hadn't got that easy going.
Axel already recorded the rhythm guitars in his own meadow studios, accompanied by some drum programmings done by Stefan. At the end of the month, we'll enter the Principal studios to record drums, bass, vocals, keyboards and some guitar overdubs. Of course, from now we'll keep you informed about our activities with some short videoclips. Stay tuned!
At the upcoming weekend, we'll do some rehearsal with the whole bunch at the TLC studios, to practice all songs of the new album and check out the live playlist for the upcoming festivals. We're highly motivated, more than this, we're burning ;-))) The fourth decade of GRAVE DIGGER has begun! For all of you, who can't hold off their curiosity; the concept album is dead, LONG LIVE THE CONCEPT ALBUM!... Bye for now ;-)
Chris, Jens, Stefan, HP und Axel
