Grave Digger: Healed By Metal

Sometimes record companies write loads (and loads) of guff about their artists and albums and it can get quite tedious. Grave Digger's people – Napalm Records from Austria have chosen to keep it minimal with Healed By Metal and this is practically all they have to say.

"36 years since the band`s formation, and their attitude hasn`t changed! The title track (and opener) of Healed By Metal is a stomping anthem, stoic and proud yet still catchy and beastly. Grave Digger stay true to their no-frills traditional brand of metal on album number eighteen, letting the thunder rain on endless roads ('Lawbreaker') and indulging in epic melodies ('Call For War'). Here are your Ten Commandments of Metal!"

Bam! That's so correct. Grave Digger are Grave Digger and if you want them to suddenly turn into Dream Theater then massive disappointment awaits but if you want solid meat and potatoes metal then you are very much in the right place. Grave Digger deliver time after time in terms of solid traditional metal without any frills, "Free Forever", the title track, "Hallelujah", the aforementioned "Lawbreaker" and "When the Night Falls" are all excellent and the rest are at worst, fine so in reality it's another year, another Grave Digger album which is always a pleasant experience.
