GRAVE DIGGER – Healed By Metal

Few bands have been as prolific and consistent as Grave Digger. Healed By Metal marks the bands 18th studio release since their 1984 debut Heavy Metal Breakdown, and delivers everything that Grave Digger fans could ask for. Healed By Metal is straightforward, in-your-face, Classic Metal at its best. Satisfyingly crushing guitar riffs and properly thunderous drums combine with Chris Boltendahl’s signature melodic yet snarly vocal delivery to create a molten, blackened, steaming Metal landscape.

Songs range from shout-chorus headbangers like the title track, “Healed By Metal”, “Lawbreaker”, and “Ten Commandments Of Metal” to more melodic, anthemic numbers such as “Call For War” and “Kill Ritual”. With a relatively short running time and most songs clocking in around 3 and a half minutes, Healed By Metal knows its purpose and unwaveringly fulfills its potential. While this release risks being dismissed by Metal elitists as much as any other Grave Digger offering with it’s by-the-numbers song structure, listeners will be hard pressed to find a better modern representation of a great album from a veteran band.

Highlights include “Call For War”, “Kill Ritual” and “Ten Commandments Of Metal”.
