│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Grave Digger is one of those bands who seemed to ║ │
│║ always have a few tricks up their sleeve. Their ║ │
│║ 2014 release, Return of the Reaper, was quite ║ │
│║ good and it seemed that the momentum would keep ║ │
│║ going. Just the fact that vocalist Chris ║ │
│║ Boltendahl has kept this band going, on and off, ║ │
│║ since 1980 is a major accomplishment. When I ║ │
│║ heard that they had a new release coming out I ║ │
│║ got quite excited. Would they be able to make an ║ │
│║ album as good as itÆs predecessor? The answer is ║ │
│║ not quite. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While this is not a bad album by any means, it ║ │
│║ was a bit of a letdown in some area while some ║ │
│║ spots are pure Grave Digger metal. The title ║ │
│║ track kicks it off and is your typical Grave ║ │
│║ Digger fist pumper with a catchy as fuck chorus, ║ │
│║ which has always been a strong point for Grave ║ │
│║ Digger. ôWhen the Night Fallsö and ôLawbreakerö ║ │
│║ are also kick ass Grave Digger songs. The riffs ║ │
│║ drive the songs and the choruses are catchy and ║ │
│║ huge. IÆm not the biggest fan of Axel RittÆs ║ │
│║ solos he seems to pull off some good ones on ║ │
│║ these songs. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It seems that the album falls off after that ║ │
│║ trifecta of killer metal. ôFree Foreverö just ║ │
│║ seemed like a lost opportunity to me. The song ║ │
│║ opens with some nice melodic riffing and just ║ │
│║ falls flat on the verse, seeming to just plod ║ │
│║ along with no riffs nor direction. The chorus is ║ │
│║ strong so itÆs not all bad. A rather frustrating ║ │
│║ song to say the least. Another frustrating ║ │
│║ moment is the five minute closer ôLaughing With ║ │
│║ the Dead.ö ItÆs a slower number that should have ║ │
│║ had those heavy as fuck pummeling riffs and epic ║ │
│║ choruses but it just came off as overlong and ║ │
│║ boring. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are some other good moments on the album ║ │
│║ that should not be overlooked. ôThe HangmanÆs ║ │
│║ Eyeö and ôKill Ritualö are two good songs that ║ │
│║ seem to save the album from being a complete let ║ │
│║ down. Both are fast and rocking with some great ║ │
│║ riffs and solos. The lyrics are quite cheesy ║ │
│║ and, on the latter, Mr. Boltendahl sounds as if ║ │
│║ heÆs summoning the late great Lemmy Kilmister. ║ │
│║ The chorus on ôKill Ritualö is also one of the ║ │
│║ better ones on the album that leads right into a ║ │
│║ blistering solo from Mr. Ritt. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The version I have has two bonus tracks, ║ │
│║ ôKingdom of the Nightö and the rather fun hard ║ │
│║ rocking ôBucket List.ö Once again, Chris is ║ │
│║ sounding a lot like Lemmy on there and just has ║ │
│║ a fun vibe. As I finish out the album it sets in ║ │
│║ that this is not as strong as itÆs predecessor ║ │
│║ but still has some fine moments. Grave Digger ║ │
│║ are not going anywhere, anytime soon. ║ │
