This is the exceptional masterpiece, Grave Digger's: 'The Grave Digger' darker and more aggresive than anything that has been released before under the flag of Chris Boltendahl and his metal comrades. Adding with the fresh and raw riffing of Manni Schmidt who formerly played with Rage, we hold here the most terrific power metal album ever. It is a hommage to the writings of Edgar Allen Poe, there are certain popular topics to be found again, such as The Raven, The Fall Of The House Of Usher and The Black Cat. Edgar Allan Poe's works seem to be good materia to make metal songs of it, thinking of Iron Maiden - Murders In The Rue Morgue, Stormwitch - Masque Of The Red Death and probably lots of others I haven't heard yet. Now it's Grave Diggers turn to proceed. Read more ›› |

Its metal but I didn't like it, there were riffs all was heavy but why I did not like this on, I don't know.

There's a drop in quality here. It's still very enjoyable but not a masterpiece like its predecessor.

Great one! Best songs: title track, "The House", "Son Of Evil", "Raven" and "Funeral Procession". Fifth place on my top 5 from Digger. 8.5/10
---- Glory to the Nation!

In my opinion this is their best album. From fantastic production to great ass-kicking individual songs, this is brilliant heavy metal. I just love the darker and heavier tone of this album.
