This album totally rocks & some! I prefer it much more than their later stuff.They seemed to have gotten much more polished & kind of cheese power metalish in their later years although if it was most other bands it would have been good.Darkness is heavier & is what great paint-peeling in your face heavy metal is all about!These guys aren't all that well known probably cause they're awsome! Get this cd!

hello metallians. oh how i love grave digger. one of my favorite bands of all time. when it comes to dark mellodic power metal with bone crushing riffs and timeless choruses no one does it better than these guys. chris boltendal is a unique vocalist and his vocals practically make this band what they are, no one has the wicked harsh clean vocal straining ability that this guy does. also what makes or made them so killer was the godly guitar style of master axeman uwe lullis. when he left the band after the killer excalibur album i thought they were history but to my surprise they found a guitar god with all the ingredients of uwe lullis and then some in the form of manny schmidt, check out the newer albums like rheingold and liberty or death and see for yourself. this album has more of a dark style like you can find on their self titled album that was manny's guitar debut. i for one prefer albums like knights of the cross and tunes of war, but then again i love every album the digger has ever made. there are some killer heavy hitting songs on this album that any fan should hear. and some killer riffs courtsey of uwe lullis. give this album a try and just try to keep that head from banging,your friend in metal, brandon whitson, 25 of north carolina

You will learn to appreciate the "bad vocals" of Chriss with this jewell. All songs are great and this album is by far their best with tunes of war and excalibur following.
