  • With the mere first notes of the introduction, fans of Grave Digger will unequivocally know they have returned to the Scottish Highlands! The majestic sound of bagpipes stylistically establishes the direction of the German power metal institution's latest album. "The Clans Will Rise Again" is a formidable and compact work, in which no one song outdoes another. Yet tracks like "Paid in Blood", "Hammer of the Scots", or "Rebels" will undoubtedly grab on to the most discerning metalhead with their unstoppable mix of heavy metal riffs, driving double bass and catchy choruses. Kilt-wearing fans will find "Highland Farewell" their personal favorite, as the bagpipe takes on a leading role and gives the track its unique flair. Grave Digger's newest addition, guitarist Axel Ritt, rejuvenates the band revolving around legendary frontman and scene grandee Chris Boltendahl, and provides them with a fresh and energy-laden springboard from which to launch their latest attack. Scotland provides Grave Digger with plenty of lyrical inspiration, ranging from its sheer mystique to its proud people. It also allows them to once again return to the glory days of "Tunes of War", an album that previously visited Scotland's colorful history. "The Clans Will Rise Again" presents a band that has managed to mark their 30th anniversary with yet another musical milestone.
    The power metal warlords' battle cry echoes throughout the Scottish Highlands!

    Nothing is more Scottish than a German power metal band filming in England singing about the Scottish Highlands.

    • @bmoney2011
      @bmoney2011 Před 8 lety +7

      +dominikjeske96 Power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal combining characteristics of traditional metal with speed metal, often within symphonic context. Generally, power metal is characterized by a more uplifting sound, in contrast to the heaviness and dissonance prevalent in styles such as doom metal and death metal. Power metal bands usually have anthem-like songs with fantasy-based subject matter and strong choruses, thus creating a theatrical, dramatic and emotionally "powerful" sound. --- Wikipedia.

    Lyrics :
    A nameless day in the mist
    There is no right to exist
    Silent screams are calling for vengeance
    Wind is blowing through my wounded heart
    Leaving my life behind
    Leaving my hope
    Searching the peace of mind
    Can't you hear it. Can't you see
    Magic islands, haunted hills
    Where I live and dwell
    Wherever I may wander, wherever I rove
    My sunset and my dawn
    Highland farewell
    Blood soaked snow on my soul
    Deeper I fall into this wide black hole
    My demons guide me to my inner depth
    Where I lay down myself to death
    Leaving my life behind
    Leaving my hope
    Searching the peace of mind
    Can't you hear it. Can't you see
    Magic islands, haunted hills
    Where I live and dwell
    Wherever I may wander, wherever I rove
    My sunset and my dawn
    Highland farewell

    I got the album yesterday... gotta say I didn't expect much from it because it was my first Grave Digger album. So I synced it into my iPod and listened to it on the bus on the way home and I was amazed. Every song from Days of Revenge to When Rain Turns to Blood is a gem. So to conclude: The Clans Will Strike Again is a fantastic album. If what I heard about Grave Digger is true and every album is as good as this one, Grave Digger just got themselves another fan.
