German heavy metal legends, Grave Digger, are ready to open the next chapter of their more than four decades long band history.

After the lineup change and with their new guitar wizard Tobias Kersting (Chris Boltendahl's Steelhammer, ex-Orden Ogan), Grave Digger are back with the new single "The Grave Is Yours", and to make clear that 80's inspired traditional heavy metal in its purest is more than alive. And that's not all, the completely re-recorded classic track "Back To The Roots" is also part of this release. Straightforward, merciless, right in your face ... this is Grave Digger in 2024.

"The Grave Is Yours" will be released via ROAR! Rock of Angels Records on January 12 worldwide, limited to 500 copies on 7" Red Vinyl, as well as on all popular and well-known download and streaming platforms. Pre-order/save here.
