GRAVE DIGGER - SYMBOL OF ETERNITY

#review

BAND Grave Digger

ALBUM Symbol Of Eternity

LABEL ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records

OUT Aug 26th, 2022

OUR RATING 81/100

When you put on the turntable a new album by Grave Digger, you know what to expect because they’re a certainty.

Throughout a 40 years’career, the band led by CHRIS BOLTENDAHL showed its way to provide #classicHM.

No experiments in the ZOMBIE DANCE’s way, with a confirmed FIELDS OF BLOOD line but with a new label, ROCK OF ANGELS.

Again they choose the concept album idea, through Medieval Scotland and Crusaders; a direct and powerful album, inspired while respecting the history of the band.

To remark the attack of BATTLE CRY, enthralling HELL IS MY PURGATORY, the lilting title-track, squared and powerful HEART OF A WARRIOR, enhanced by good job of AXEL RITT, a trademark of the whole platter.

ANOTHER CONFIRM BY A LEGENDARY BAND..TO RECCOMEND!!
