- Official Video Clip !!
GRAVE DIGGER confirms once again their legendary status in the world of heavy metal with "Ballads of a Hangman". While celebrating genuine old-school metal and remaining loyal to their trademark sound with driving guitar riffs, thundering double bass, soulful solos, and catchy choruses, songs like "Pray" or the title track can already be hailed as the latest classics of the true metal genre. Charismatic frontman Chris Boltendahl reigns over the instrumental faction, adding the finishing touches to the longplayer with his distinctive vocals. As a special highlight, he shares the vocal responsibilities with Veronica Freeman of Benedictum on the partial ballad "Lonely the Innocence Dies". The recordings took place at Principal Studios under the guidance of the Resetti Brothers, who have provided GRAVE DIGGER with a sound so forceful and fresh like never before. GRAVE DIGGER strikes back with 120% metal!

to speak with the words of another great band:
"the gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good, they said to play it louder than hell we promised that we would".
this is another great song of a great band i'm still hoping to see them live
Очень хорошая команда.У меня все диски в коллекции.Если б они приехали к нам в Москву,с удовольствием бы сходил,думаю зал бы набит полный бвл.Эту группу уде много лет любят в России любители такой музыки.
Scream and die - at the gallows pole
Where the hanged are singing songs of despair
Hope is the last what they have in mind
Songs of revolution are hanging in the air
The master of death, deep in their mind
Stealing their lives and leaving them blind
No mercy, no excuse for all of your sins
You will die in agony, the evil within
Run and hide
As long as you can
The race is started
Let the hangman begin
Kill you - at the gallows pole
Where the brave find their rest and pray for the dead
Ballads are sung and the earth starts to quake
The last supper starts for the slaughter you wait
Run and hide
As long as you can
The race is started
Let the hangman begin
Best intro ever
Somehow I seem to have failed to notice the existence of Grave Digger for the last 35 years. They are really rather good.
Never too late for some HEAVY METAL \m/
Its ok i found them this year >.< and i listen to alot of bands that started in the 80's somehow i missed these guys.
Ohhhhh! Ohhhhhh! Ohhhhh! Ohhhhh! Ohhhhhhhh! Ohhhhhhhhh! HANGMAN!!
StygianTraveler141 Everytime i hear this i imagine a crowd chanting this song while a prisoner is being executed by the hangman lul
Amorr Winterstorm This song is exactly about that.

Very Very Best Album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Old-school. Most definitely. I also love it.
It sort of reminds me, partially in lyrics and partially in style, of Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris of Iron Maiden.
Awesome.

This is POWER METAL!
Not only is this one of the bests Heavy/Power Metal songs I've heard in a while, the vid is one of the best I've seen in the genre in a while too!

Oy! hahaha I love their looks of horror and constipation at the beginning! hahahaha
Good trad-metal tune. Is it just me or does anyone else hear Paul DiAnno in Chris' vocals? He doesn't hit the old DiAnno highs but the rest of the time settles into that vocal range and sound. Cheers!
