The first three are classics of German underground heavy metal, but since the reformation in 1993 the band has been aiming at knighthood and has won over a large number of fans. With all guns blazing for newfound power and glory and mediaeval themes, and their Scottish ilk, ubiquitous vocalist Chris Boltendahl commands his forces to new highs. <\/p>\n<p>A new version of \u201cHome at Last\u201d is a guarantee that the brand new album has every chance of charting, the amusing \u201cRage of the Savage Best\u201d is enjoyable in a German 80\u00b4s metal way, and \u201cMetal Will Never Die\u201d will no doubt be the singing stock of many a beer drenched German festival. Just listen once and have a go at the fully fledged fists in the air lyrics. The final push to buy is the inclusion of three songs from the band\u00b4s Wacken 2012 performance. When Chris shouts \u201cAlle\u201d I bet that the entire festival area rocked. \u201cBallad of a Hangman\u201d and \u201cExcalibur\u201d are two strongholds of their back catalogue, and \u201cHeavy Metal Breakdown\u201d\u2026 well it fits snugly into the four gallons later festival mood. All in all I play this in my MP3 all the time. As a band I\u00b4d be worried that this one might lessen the interest in the brand new studio effort\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nHome at Last<br \/>\nRage of the Savage Beast (Non album track)<br \/>\nMetal Will Never Die (Non album track)<br \/>\nBallad of a Hangman (Live at Wacken)<br \/>\nExcalibur (Live at Wacken)<br \/>\nHeavy Metal Breakdown (Live at Wacken)<\/p>\n<p>www.napalmrecords.com www.myspace.com\/gravediggerclan <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Napalm\/Sound Pollution This taster of the forthcoming \u201cClash of the Gods\u201d album, which is actually studio release number 16 (including the 1987 DIGGER album), is the best appetizer in a long time.
