LOCOMOTIVE RECORDS TO RELEASE NEW GRAVE DIGGER STUDIO ALBUM ON JANUARY 30

Who could have possibly even imagined when Germany's Grave Digger debuted in 1984 with Heavy Metal Breakdown that 22 years and 14 albums later, the band's Liberty Or Death-to be released January 30 via Locomotive Records (distributed stateside by Ryko)-would represent the state of the metal art. Vocalist Chris Boltendahl, bassist Jens Becker, drummer Stefan Arnold, guitarist Manni Schmidt and keyboardist HP Katzenburg have fashioned an elaborate hard-hitting manifesto of pure adrenaline.

Over a year in the making, Liberty Or Death is, indeed, more than just a battle cry. Call it a lifestyle, if you will. Its themes of adventure, freedom, war and peace are universal, rife with inspiration. One can consider the album in its totality as a "journey across the history of the human race," according to its authors.
