467 - Grave Digger Excalibur 1999

One of the first Noise Records signings in the early eighties, Grave Digger released three raw power metal albums before changing their name to Digger and disbanded soon after. Several years later, vocalist Chris Boltendahl resurrected the band with Digger guitarist Uwe Lulis, and the reformed Grave Digger has been rocking ever since. "Excalibur" is the final album in the so-called “Medieval Trilogy” Grave Digger put out in the late 90s. They’ve been plying their German Heavy/Power/Speed Metal craft in one form or another since 1980. This song remembers the mythical sword of King Arthur, sometimes attributed with magical powers or associated with the rightful sovereignty of Great Britain.
