GRAVE DIGGER Shares ‘Kingdom Of Skulls’ Single From Upcoming ‘Bone Collector’ Album

German power metallers GRAVE DIGGER will celebrate their 45th anniversary in 2025. 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”, due out on January 17, 2025. The official music video for the LP’s first single, “Kingdom Of Skulls”, can be seen below.GRAVE DIGGER frontman 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 old-school 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.””Bone Collector” track listing:01. Bone Collector02. The Rich The Poor The Dying03. Kingdom Of Skulls04.

We’re looking forward to your reaction, the release of the album in January and 45 years of GRAVE DIGGER live with you.”GRAVE DIGGER is:Chris Boltendahl (Vocals)Jens Becker (Bass)Tobias Kersting (Guitar)Marcus Kniep (Drums)Photo credit: Jens Howorka[embedded content]
