Horror and B-movies come to mind when you see this band’s cd covers, promo and video clip. But upon hearing this “break through in 2007” band, (never hear from then until now) you’ll quickly discover and hear that they are not so scary at al.

The band gets their inspiration and stage acts from bands like Slipknot, Gwar and/ or the Misfits. Lots of fast metal combined with punk and the obvious “sing-a-long oooo moments” no punk group can leave out. But What was so spontaneous and worked so well with other bands seems a bit to forced or to thought out with Grave Digger, These boys try to be evel as hell but for some reason sound the excact opposite. Who knows if this is their intension or not. Although it has some cool songs on it like Black Sabbath cover “Children Of The Grave”, you feel that these chaps got the skills but try to hard to please us. Maybe that a live show can convince us more.
