In the year 2025 the German metal institution celebrates its 45th anniversary. Founded in 1980 in Gladbeck/Germany, 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 the album “Heavy Metal Breakdown” in 1984, an unprecedented career began that will find its logical continuation with their new album “Bone Collector”, on January 17, 2025.

Chris Boltendahl comments: “Yeah, here it is at last, our first track “Kingdom of Skulls” from the new album “Bone Collector”, including the accompanying video clip: a good portion of heavy metal with straight guitar riffs, pumping bass, powerful drums and my ever-popular grating iron tube. As if time had stood still in the 80s, the track blasts out of the speakers in the very best old-school style. No bling-bling, just heavy metal as it should be… and this awesome oldschool video to boot! More Grave Digger trademarks in one song? That’s hardly possible, so enjoy this hot piece of metal and look forward to what’s to come. Your Chris “Reaper” Boltendahl”

Few days ago, the pre-sale for “Bone Collector” started, which will be released as a CD digipak, picture vinyl, colored marbled vinyl, RPM exclusive splatter vinyl and digitally.
At the RPM & ROAR Mailorder Shop, the limited splatter vinyl and the digipak are also available as a bundle with the exclusive “Old School” shirt.

“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, the release of the album in January and 45 years of Grave Digger live with you,” states band leader Chris Boltendahl.
