GRAVE DIGGER frontman Chris Boltendahl comments:
"Hey folks - we're back! And we've brought you our brand-new single: "Bark to Hell"!
For us, this track is the final exclamation mark to close out our celebrated Bone Collector session with a bang. With "Bark to Hell", we've packed in everything that defines GRAVE DIGGER - raw energy, dark atmosphere, and no-compromise power.
Hellish guitar riffs, pounding drums, and my unmistakable vocals are driving this beast forward. This one's a true headbanger - no playlist should be without it!
But let me make one thing clear: this isn't a farewell. "Bark to Hell" is a triumphant afterburner - dark, loud, and gripping to the very last note. To all our die-hard fans: this one's for you. GRAVE DIGGER still bites - hard."
This year does not only see German iconic metal institution GRAVE DIGGER celebrate its 45th anniversary, but also their 23rd, chart success album Bone Collector, released in January 2025 via ROAR.
Founded in 1980 in Gladbeck, they set out to conquer the world; who would have thought that 45 years later GRAVE DIGGER would be one of the most important, consistent and influential metal bands from Germany. With the release of their ground-breaking debut Heavy Metal Breakdown in 1984, an unprecedented career began that will find its logical continuation more than four decades later with their latest, new masterpiece Bone Collector, an album that seen the band going back to their old school roots. 45 years in this business, and GRAVE DIGGER fortunately show no signs of slowing down, as also their new single "Bark to Hell" and busy touring plans prove.
