Grave Digger Let Your Heads Roll - Very Best Of The Noise Years

2016, Chris Boltendahl (vocals), Peter Masson (guitar), Willi Lackmann (bass) and Albert Eckardt (drums), released their debut album HEAVY METAL BREAKDOWN in 1983. In 1985, with Lackmann having left the band, they released their second album WITCH HUNTER. Only after the album was completed, a replacement on bass was found in the form of C.F. Brank. Ttheir third album WAR GAMES appeared 1986. Thereafter, Peter Masson gave way to Uwe Lulis; in 1987 the band's name was changed to Digger, the name under which they released the album STRONGER THAN EVER. This album hardly had anything in common with the earlier Grave Digger. It was more an attempt to reach the masses with mainstream rock like that of Bon Jovi or Van Halen. The album flopped, as it was not accepted by fans or the masses. As a result, Boltendahl declared, at the end of 1987, the breakup of the band. In 1991, the band was partially reformed. Boltendahl and Lulis, Tomi Göttlich and Jörg Michael released a comeback record called THE REAPER in 1993.
