Incredible what Gravedigger chase us here again by the eavesdropper. What a hammer before the Lord. After more than 30 years in the business ballert us Gladbecker Teutons steel troupe a rocket across the bow that a Know what hit. The accelerator pedal is depressed not only up to the stop but even through the bottom plate. Krass. After again really strong intro in the form of Chopin Funeral March gehts including furchteinflössendem Ladies Scream also like the real thing. "Bright Funeral" hammering a same at the first notes the turnip away. But then comes the "War God". Scary - in this bass-grenade you have to really fear for the Have boxes of its investment. Thanks here to Jens Becker. Real brutally what of here down gambles again. Also a deep bow to Stefan Arnold, here the shooting gallery plowed like there's no Tomorrow more and the Reaper himself after him would be. What is one to say, just world-class level. Continuing with the "Tattooed Rider". The song opens pretty modern, sounds like Priest to turbo times, only ne whole corner sharper. Axel Ritt's guitar work is on this (overall) album by Lengths better advantage than they did previously on the albums. Hammer solos, tempo changes en mass paired with a riffing which his Unequaled. All Hail The One and Only "Iron fingers"! Continuing with the Day of Resurrection. No need to hit the brakes occur. Here goes off the post. Not until the next track is the Hand thrown anchor and the masher "Season of the Witch" in the Released handset, which now before neck pain just so winds ... considered positive we have to say, at least remains the turnip still on the shoulders. What an album. Edel, you could almost think we would write in 1993. This freshness. Endgeil. And above it all is enthroned Chris smoky voice. The suits the lyrics as chalk and cheese. In addition it should be noted that this time the lyrics better prepared than on previous albums. Is certainly worth a lot, that you have this time not a concept album in front of him. The band really bubble with energy. HP's keyboards were withdrawn slightly and the guitar for again more to the fore. This is the album very well to face. The dark lyrics of "Road Rage Killers" to do the rest before the mandatory Grave-song from the speakers ballert. Reminds me of somehow "Under My Flag" from 1993's Reaper album. The Bridges and Choruses are elaborated in great detail, catchy and you'll dream to sing along. On this album so many strong tracks are present, as it has for the Band to be really hard, which Songs for the upcoming "German Metal Attack Pt3" compile. It is really true that a neckbreaker for the next hunt. Also "Satan's Host" here takes its place seamlessly and falls from high bit. The production and the mix of the album are so fat, that's simply not be topped. With "Dia De Los Muertos" comes the next Stampfer crawling and takes no prisoners. Beet teeters all the time übelst with the beat. So must it be, just so must the be ... no, is !!! "Death Smiles At All Of Us" comes with a cool intro and is the anthem of the Silberling par. Brilliant. More can not be said here too it. So far, not a weak song or failure on the album. Very homogeneously the whole. Is completed, the CD of the semi-ballad "Nothing To Believe", which would also have what it takes to live replace "Yesterday". Chris at his best. It sounds like you, you will not regret it. For me this album is despite the fact that we only have July the True Metal album of the year! Everything is just right, a brilliant artwork of Gyula, a super elaborated booklet with the coolest band Photos history of the combo and Mucke I have, I think, at least, been already said everything.
The Media Book (double CD) still comes to with ner bonus disc therefore, which includes 2 other new tracks. "The Emperors Death" is another strong song that comes along in midtempo and me strongly reminiscent of "Clash Of The Gods" from the last album. Some tempo changes and variations in the song structures are represented here. "Rebel Of Damnation" then goes back more going forward, starts his day like "Baphomet" of the Knights Of The Cross. The class of the two bonus tracks as blowing off some standard album track the competition without problems. Now comes still a special treat the band that attaches the bonus disc still 8 acoustic tracks of some of their greatest hits. You have to hear. Rays these songs schwermetallisch already presented from a special charm, unfold it unplugged even more magic. The must-have part time.
For such an album can thus pull out only the highest score! Thanks to the band, that's really great cinema, what you have delivered here. Then look at the tour! Metal On and Up The Diggers !!!
