Cologne, Germany-based heavy metal band Grave Digger have signed an album contract with ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records, confirming this development on November 6th, 2020.<\/p>\n

The Michaniona, Greece-based label issued the following statement: \u201cWe are thrilled and proud to announce that Grave Digger, one of the true metal veterans, has signed a multi-album deal with ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe history of Grave Digger goes back to 1980 and the band is undoubtedly the ultimate old school German Heavy Metal Institution! Albums like Heavy Metal Breakdown<\/em> [1984], Witch Hunter<\/em> [1985] and War Games<\/em> [1986] are real classics that should not be missing in any well-stocked collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the course of their 40 years spanning career, Grave Digger released 21 studio releases, various live albums and several compilations. They are still – today more than ever – a recognized metallic superpower and one of the best live acts. They have always made no secret of their passion for the original 80s metal, so we can look forward to honest and hammering classic heavy metal albums full of anthems in the future as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
