"»Bone Collector« shows who still sits firmly on the throne in the ‘Kingdom Of Skulls’!"
ROCK IT!
"The quality of the song material on "Bone Collector", which was created without keyboards, easily beats large parts of the Teutonic metal discography, and is as diverse as it is straightforward, that one wonders if there has ever been a GRAVE DIGGER album that sounded so classic and yet so exciting!"
DEAF FOREVER

Founded in 1980 in Gladbeck, they set out to conquer the world; who would have thought that 45 years later Grave Digger would be one of the most important, consistent and influential metal bands from Germany. With the release of their ground-breaking debut "Heavy Metal Breakdown" in 1984, an unprecedented career began that will find its logical continuation more than four decades later with the band's much-waited new masterpiece “Bone Collector”, an album that sees the band going back to their old school roots.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Boltendahl, optically set in scene by Brazilian artist Wanderley Perna, “Bone Collector” marks a work of art that heralds a new Grave Digger era.
“Here it is at last, our new studio album, true to the motto: #gravediggeroldschool. With Tobi Kersting in the band, we have focused on the essentials of our sound again after many years with numerous concept albums: Concise straightforward metal songs that burn themselves into your brain stems after the first listen. “Bone Collector” doesn't sound like off-the-shelf stuff, but highly energetic, fresh and you'll notice that we had a lot of fun with the songs. We're looking forward to your reaction and 45 years of Grave Digger live with you,” Boltendahl recently said.
