│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ GRAVE DIGGER is one of the best, and oldest, ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal bands in Germany. It is really hard ║ │
│║ to be a Heavy Metal fan without hearing about ║ │
│║ Chris Boltendahl and his amazing band. This band ║ │
│║ was formed in 1980 and since then they've been ║ │
│║ working really hard to unleash many great ║ │
│║ traditional Metal albums. All their albums were ║ │
│║ great and ôClash Of The Godsö didnÆt disappoint ║ │
│║ either. This album continues on displaying what ║ │
│║ this group has been forging for so long - true ║ │
│║ Heavy Metal. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This time there wonÆt be any Scottish clans and ║ │
│║ no new rebellion. No, Noà This time GRAVE DIGGER ║ │
│║ settled again on mythology while choosing the ║ │
│║ Greek one for this ride. They inspired with a ║ │
│║ great story about a warrior that traveled around ║ │
│║ the world. Of course if we are talking about ║ │
│║ Greek mythology we must pay attention to the ║ │
│║ gods and even more important, to their monsters. ║ │
│║ Here there are the glorious of them like ║ │
│║ Cerberus, Medusa, Sirens, and more. This album ║ │
│║ took me back to my childhood when I was stealing ║ │
│║ books from the city library, and one of them was ║ │
│║ the perfect Greek mythology. I remember myself ║ │
│║ sitting in my home day after day and reading ║ │
│║ about all this great myths. So let's begin! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After the intro "Charon" was done for, the song ║ │
│║ ôGod Of Terrorö and ôHelldogö commenced the ║ │
│║ journey to begin. It is evident that the ║ │
│║ musiciansÆ composing style is rather unique, ║ │
│║ especially with the riffs and very powerful ║ │
│║ solos. On the other hand, these particular songs ║ │
│║ are nothing special,. These are really good ║ │
│║ songs and the fans are going to like them, but ║ │
│║ their older fans (like me) that know this band ║ │
│║ for many years (I know them 6 years) will find ║ │
│║ that this is just the same type of songs that ║ │
│║ keep coming and going under the same format ║ │
│║ heard for many years, and even with the same ║ │
│║ rhythms. But don't get me wrong, if you a GRAVE ║ │
│║ DIGGER fan you are going to love these. It's ║ │
│║ justà you would not feel that you discovered ║ │
│║ something new. Close your eyes - "Medusa" is ║ │
│║ here, one of my favorite songs. This is very ║ │
│║ good one about the Gorgon monster. Gazing ║ │
│║ directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone ║ │
│║ (perhaps all of this because she got snakes on ║ │
│║ her head instead hair). The song and the lyrics ║ │
│║ are amazing. Another great song is ôDeath Angel ║ │
│║ & The Grave Diggerö. This song reminds me ║ │
│║ somehow of MANOWAR. The riffs sound are very the ║ │
│║ same, but more importantly, the band really love ║ │
│║ to shout their name in this song. GRAVE DIGGER ║ │
│║ did the same and it sounds really good. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Then we got "Walls Of Sorrow" that is the ║ │
│║ albumÆs most aggressive tracks only to ║ │
│║ accommodate the coming of ôCall Of The Sirensö, ║ │
│║ another big time trophy, where we can hear a ║ │
│║ semi touch of a ballad. The song is about the ║ │
│║ beautiful Sirens, dangerous and devious ║ │
│║ creatures, portrayed as femmes fatales who lured ║ │
│║ nearby sailors with their enchanting music and ║ │
│║ voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their ║ │
│║ island. The song that ends this album is "Home ║ │
│║ At Last", the bandÆs single. This is the best ║ │
│║ song on the album (for me). After the warriors ║ │
│║ faced gods, Medusa, Sirens and many other ║ │
│║ dangers, it's time to finally reach their dreams ║ │
│║ and come back home, where they can reunite with ║ │
│║ their family. And what about the song?! ItÆs an ║ │
│║ upbeat, marching and beer-waving song with great ║ │
│║ sound and great lyrics. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I am really pleased with this work. The band ║ │
│║ continues to surprise me and they made a very ║ │
│║ good album that I can call "An instant classic ║ │
│║ with some minor imperfections". I am really ║ │
│║ pleased and hope you will all check this album. ║ │
│║ Oh, and by the way - the album cover is amazing ║ │
│║ as well. ║ │
