Veteran German metallers GRAVE DIGGER have issued the following update:

 

"We have to make an announcement that most of you probably never expected.

 

"A band like GRAVE DIGGERhas to develop constantly. The problem is that this is only possible ifthe musicians have the same goal and the same attitude. And they haveto feel good with what they are doing.

 

"If you have somepermanent stress in the band, there is no more productive work possibleand in the long run the music suffers from this situation.

 

"Unfortunately, there were so many disagreements recently building up between Manni [Schmidt, guitar] and Chris [Boltendahl, vocals] that this would affect the productivity and creativity in a bad way. Because of all this, Manni decided to leave GRAVE DIGGER. This happened by mutual consent.

 

"We wish Manni all the best for the future and say thank you for many nice and eventful years.

 

"But we also have some good news. There is no effect on the concerts that are already booked.

 

"Thelast word about the replacement guitar player is not spoken yet. Wefirst want to wait for the results of the rehearsals. After this, wewill introduce you to the replacement guitarist. We already spoke to apossible candidate and we will start the rehearsals in the next days."

 

 

 

Ovi su bese pre par meseci imali dvojicu gitarista? xD

 

Steta, posle onako jakog albuma..

Bilo bi kul da se Uwe vrati u bend.

Sa njim su ionako iznedrili najbolje albume.

 

 

Što se onog live za 25 godina rada tiče, super je koncert, ali sama scena, njihovo udrvljeno ponašanje, i Krisove totalno površne najave, nekako kvare potpun užitak, iako je svirka odlična.

 

Drago mi je što su sa ''War Gamesa'' svirali Paradise, ali trebali su i Enola Gay da odrade, to je isto odlična stvar sa tog albuma.

 

I evo za Invictusa, bootleg koji mi je tražio. :D

Postoji i video snimak koncerta, koji je sniman za TV emitovanje. Mislim da dva klipa postoje na youtube-u za pesme ''Witch Hunter'' i ''We Wanna Rock''. S tim što ovo nije audio rip video zapisa, čisto da se zna.

Pa eto, slučajno je on bio tu kad su izdali poslednji album. :)

Jednostavno, na ranijim albumima nema pesme kao što je Hell of Disillusion, ili Ballad of a Hangman, ili Grave of the Addicted... a posebno nema moćne balade kao što je Lonely the Innocence Dies. Čak ni Yesterday ne kida toliko.

German power metallers GRAVE DIGGER will celebrate their 30th anniversary at this year's edition of the Wacken Open Air festival, set to take place August 5-7, 2010 in Wacken, Germany. The band will perform its seventh and most successful album, "Tunes Of War" (1996), in its entirety at the event and will be accompanied by "illustrious guests," such as the 20-headed BAUL MULUY PIPES & DRUMS BAND from Hamburg, German metal queen Doro Pesch, BLIND GUARDIAN lead singer Hansi Kürsch and the metal a capella ensemble VAN CANTO. There will also be a special elaborate stage set with an extraordinary pyro show.

 

Wacken Open Air will mark the first and final time GRAVE DIGGER will play the entire "Tunes Of War" album live. The band will also perform some of its other "greatest hits," such as "Ballad Of A Hangman", "Heavy Metal Breakdown" and "Excalibur" at the end of its set.

 

GRAVE DIGGER will enter Principal studio in Senden, Germany in May with producers Resetti Brothers to begin recording its new album for a late 2010 release.

 

GRAVE DIGGER's latest album, "Ballads Of A Hangman", was released on January 9, 2009 via Austria's Napalm Records.

 

Fan-filmed video footage of GRAVE DIGGER's November 21, 2009 performance at the Carioca Club in Sao Paulo, Brazil can be viewed below.

Jebeš Wacken, ja mislio krenuće na neku turneju s tim. Mada se meni nešto i ne dopada ta ideja, ako bih voleo da čujem neki njihov album u celini uživo, to bi bio Knights of the Cross. Uostalom, otkako su otišli Manni i Thilo, nešto mi se i ne žuri ponovo da ih gledam, bolje da što duže čuvam uspomenu na prošlogodišnji spektakl u Boogaloo.

German power metallers GRAVE DIGGER have entered the studio to begin recording their new album for a late 2010 release.

 

Commented the band: "Yes, everything's on its way, we're right in the middle of recordings the successor to 'Ballad Of A Hangman' and a lot has happened since the release of the that album. Nothing stays the same, but nothing has changed.

 

"From January to March, we took our time for the new songwriting. Because of the [addition] of [new guitarist] Axel [Ritt; DOMAIN], we finally returned to the virtue that we've lost that long ago. The triumvirate of metal, Jens Becker [bass], Axel Ritt and Chris Boltendahl [vocals] battened in harmony while the whole songwriting session and created 12 explosive songs, which have the spirit of GRAVE DIGGER, two hundred percent!

 

"Since the days of 'Tunes Of War' and 'The Grave Digger', the creativity around the songwriting process hadn't been that easy-going.

 

"Axel already recorded the rhythm guitars in his own Meadow Studios, accompanied by some drum programmings done by Stefan. At the end of the month, we'll enter the Principal studios [in Senden, Germany with producers Resetti Brothers] to record drums, bass, vocals, keyboards and some guitar overdubs. Of course, from now we'll keep you informed about our activities with some short video clips. Stay tuned!

 

"This coming weekend, we'll do some rehearsal with the whole bunch at the TLC studios, to practice all the songs on the new album and check out the live playlist for the upcoming festivals.

 

"We're highly motivated, more than this, we're burning!

 

"The fourth decade of GRAVE DIGGER has begun!

 

"For all of you who can't hold off their curiosity; the concept album is dead, long live the concept album!"
