Grave Digger’s famed debut album “Heavy Metal Breakdown” in 1984 already produced some undying classics, such as the true Grave Digger anthem “Heavy Metal Breakdown” and the powerful ballad “Yesterday”. After their second studio album “Witch Hunter” (1985) was completed, Eckardt left the band and was replaced by C.F. Brank. After the third studio album “War Games” was released in 1986, the guitarist Peter Masson departed from the band, his place to be taken by Uwe Lulis. In addition, the band changed their name from Grave Digger to Digger and their style changed from heavy metal to hard rock according to such bands as Scorpions, Bon Jovi and Van Halen. This concept, however, was a drastical flop, hence why the frontman Chris Boltendahl announced the end of their career as a band after Digger’s album “Stronger Than Ever” was released in 1987. However, the band returned in 1993 with the comeback album “The Reaper”. Grave Digger now consisted of Chris Boltendahl, Uwe Lulis and two new members, Tomi Göttlich (bass) and Jörg Michael (drums). “The Reaper” was a “back to the roots” album with the band’s name being Grave Digger again and the style being heavy metal. On the top of that, a compilation entitled “The Best of the Eighties” was released along with the new album to represent the earlier songs of Grave Digger.

Too bad you people are trying to stuff Grave Digger into music genres over and over, at least in this shoutbox. Can't you see they're above it? They've had both heavy metal (as a genre; 'traditional metal') AND power metal elements in their music, and they still aren't defined even by these genres together. They're much more than a music-making machine just systematically doing any "one genre". They're just making awesome, dark, eerie, mysterious, aggressive metal music. Deal with it. Don't degenerate Digger into slots that wouldn't do them justice alone! ;) That said, I gotta say Legions of the Lost Pt. II is a hell of an epic song! As good as The Heart of Darkness, Keeper of the Holy Grail and stuff that I've long considered some of my favorite Digger tracks!
