Grave Digger have released their new album, The Living Dead, via Napalm Records. Order the album here, and check out a lyric video for the new single "The Power Of Metal" below.

Chris Boltendahl on the new single: "It's a song about metal, about a life in the underground, about a life which is different. To be a metalhead is the greatest gift on earth - from the day you heard the first notes of a Judas Priest or Iron Maiden song, you're addicted to this kind of music! The love and passion for metal makes you to a special person and the power of metal can heal. It makes you stronger and gives you a better life."

Since their founding back in 1980, Grave Digger have been leaders in the German heavy metal scene. They created their very own version of Teutonic heavy music - albums like Heavy Metal Breakdown, Witch Hunter and Tunes Of War became classics in the scene.
