He said, ║ │ │║ that I need to check-out these guys. It have ║ │ │║ been the days, when bands like Stormwitch, ║ │ │║ Helloween, Tyrant Pace and Running Wild started ║ │ │║ a new decade of German heavy metal. Grave Digger ║ │ │║ belonged to those groups and they are the only ║ │ │║ of the little that survived. Yes, Stormwitch had ║ │ │║ many comeback (before they now disband again) ║ │ │║ and also Running Wild came back with some new ║ │ │║ material a whilke ago, but none of those bands ║ │ │║ had a consistency as Grave Digger showed it ║ │ │║ during the last decades. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ A main factor for all this is Chris Boltendahl ║ │ │║ and his passion for power metal. And it's his ║ │ │║ rough and incomperable voice that was and is one ║ │ │║ of the crucial Grave Digger trademarks. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Such a successful band history screams for a ║ │ │║ compilation that focusses on the earlier years ║ │ │║ and lucky enough the band and Napalm Records ║ │ │║ shared the same way of thinking. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ So welcome to traveling back in time into the ║ │ │║ early 80's. Each of the songs on this album has ║ │ │║ been newly recorded which gives the older tracks ║ │ │║ some new life. "Exhumation - The Early Years" is ║ │ │║ full of songs that had an impact on the further ║ │ │║ development of the German metal scene. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ One of the oldest tracks on this compilation is ║ │ │║ "Shoot Her Down" from the 1982 demo. This raw ║ │ │║ metal monster fits perfect into the context of ║ │ │║ this album and shows the high level the band had ║ │ │║ already in those very early days. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ My highlights found a spot on the longplayer ║ │ │║ too. "Headbanging Man" and "Heavy Metal ║ │ │║ Breakdown" are my personal Top Two of the Grave ║ │ │║ Digger and unnecessary to say that those tracks ║ │ │║ rock also on this compilation. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ There was one crucial moment in Grave Digger's ║ │ │║ existance that decided about success or failure. ║ │ │║ In the mid of the eighties there was a tendency ║ │ │║ to commercialise German metal. This led to ║ │ │║ Stormwitch's "The Beauty And The Beast" and also ║ │ │║ Grave Digger had such an album. But the guys ║ │ │║ have been smart enough to release it under the ║ │ │║ header of Digger. "Stronger Than Ever", this ║ │ │║ album led to a real outcry in the scene and it ║ │ │║ became the most discussed record in the bands ║ │ │║ discography. There was a kind of robot Donald ║ │ │║ Duck on the cover (seriously!) and the songs got ║ │ │║ quite some melodies, mainly done by added ║ │ │║ keyboards. It fely more like Bon Jovi than Grave ║ │ │║ Digger. The band hit the road after this ║ │ │║ expermient and returned to the old trademarks ║ │ │║ which was the first step into a long lasting ║ │ │║ career. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Nowadays "Stronger Than Ever" became a rare ║ │ │║ record that's almost impossible to get. But in ║ │ │║ the end the best track of the album at least ║ │ │║ found a spot on the tracklist of this ║ │ │║ compilation too. And actually "Stand Up And ║ │ │║ Rock" is a pretty cool song - esp. in this re- ║ │ │║ recorded version. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ I still like Grave Digger's music. If someone ║ │ │║ plays true metal, than it's Grave Digger. ║ │ │║ Passion rules when it comes to Boltendahl and ║ │ │║ his bandmates and it's this dedication that ║ │ │║ keeps them going on and on. Something that ║ │ │║ deserves respect. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Exhumation - The Early Days" is an awesome ║ │ │║ journey back in time for 'older' fans and it is ║ │ │║ an excellent compilation for young dudes that ║ │ │║ want get a serious collection of genre ║ │ │║ influencing metal music. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Chris Boltendahl - Vocals ║ │ │║ Stefan Arnold - Drums ║ │ │║ Jens Becker - Bass ║ │ │║ Axel Ritt - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Headbanging Man [03:31] │ │ 02 - Fire In Your Eyes [03:24] │ │ 03 - Witch Hunter [03:19] │ │ 04 - Shoot Her Down [03:32] │ │ 05 - Stand Up And Rock [03:07] │ │ 06 - Heavy Metal Breakdown [03:50] │ │ 07 - Enola Gay - Drop The Bomb [03:36] │ │ 08 - Get Away [03:04] │ │ 09 - We Wanna Rock You [04:14] │ │ 10 - Playing Fools [03:51] │ │ 11 - Here I Stand [04:44] │ │ 12 - Tyrant [03:29] │ │ 13 - Paradise [03:50] │ │ 14 - My Private Morning Hell (Bonus Track) [03:19] │ │ 15 - Young And Dangerous (Bonus Track) [04:34] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [55:24 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
