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! - เพลง

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.
Приезжали, я был.
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.
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
killer track
Thilo Hermann is an awesome guitarrist as well as Manni Schmidt....I am so happy with this formation!!!!
It's like returning to the 80'es era
Very Very Best Album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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.
Fabulous. Once again, Grave Digger realised a true heavy metal hymn. I think they can be considered as the guardians of this music.
Guardians ? Shall I say.... A legend of heavy metal ! Long life to the Grave Digger !
Boromir on the bass
*I like it!*
Grave Digger forever heavy metal
Grave Digger reigns once again, this album is awesome, I love it fully and entirely and for those who say this album/song isnt good then get lost with ur negativity, u are NOT a true Digger fan, long live Uncle Reaper!!!!!
Best intro ever
Truly a great song
amazing song + good clip!!! Grave Digger had always a quite solid concept, years and years of good metal and Boltendahl never changes... indeed, the reaper has returned!
Manni war der beste Gitarrist für GD, The Last Supper war eine Hammerscheibe. Die besten Songs bis heute waren auf der 2005er Scheibe damals und Chris` Vocallines waren die besten (bis heute)......Soul Saviour, Black Widow, Crucify...so fängt meine GD-Best Of-CD an.......Ballad Of A Hangman kommt auf dieser CD erst an Stelle 14 ;-)
Ну нет! Nein! Лучшим был Лулис, а лучшие альбомы - в 90-х, особенно "Средневековая трилогия".
Hard modern metal with sweet 80's tone. Thats what i love about Grave Digger.
Legendary masterpiece! \m/
Digging Grave Digger...
Ja, BOMBE. Wolfgang, Du bist der Hammer!!! Welch eine tolle Rolle! Ich brech nur noch ab......ohohohoh
the melody that starts at 1:40 is godlike. I can listen ages to it!
bello a los tiempos esta grandiosa banda
This song is pure metal!
It brings together everything that metal stands for.
Nice one Grave Digger \m/
Dieses Album ist einer meiner absoluten Favorits im Heavy Metal! Da rockt einfach jedes verdammte Lied, Von Sorrow of the Dead bis hin zu Funeral for a fallen Angel ist einfach alles was den guten alten Heavy Metal ausmacht vorhanden!
this is probably their best song, in my opinion.
This is the first metal band in a long time that I actually like.
Gravedigger are so damn awesome \m/

der vwaschzettel wird selbstfairständlich mitgewaschen.
true to the bone
what a beautyful witch ;)
manni schmidt...the one and only one
great guitar player
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!
