Grave Digger - Knights of the Cross (1998) [Remastered 2006]

Album: Knights of the Cross

Genre: Heavy Metal

Label: GUN Records

Concept albums are often more complete than others when it comes to the lyrical and artistic aspect of them, both characteristics that do not have to do with music itself, as i think, a good album is good not only on the compositional side but also on other elements. Grave Digger deal with some awesome subjects of the history of the church and more here, you can see a detailed and wonderful presentation here. This is the remastered version of the album, it has some bonus songs and a digital remaster of the whole album.

Grave Digger were once among my favourite heavy metal bands since 5-6 years ago that was the only genre i would listen, i was fascinated with all the albums by these dudes. This one is by far my favourite because of the topics it shows, it contains some of my favourite songs by them, it has an amazing and powerful hype as the album flows and its a wonderful piece of solid heavy metal. I managed to see them live at a festival the past summer, they are pretty energetic for a group of 150 year olds.

Reckoning

From all the hills came screams. A piece of sky beside the crescent sun was detaching. It was a loosened circle of evening sky, suddenly lighted from the back. It was an abrupt black body out of nowhere; it was a flat disk; it was almost over the sun. That is when there were screams. At once this disk of sky slid over the sun like a lid. The sky snapped over the sun like a lens cover. The hatch in the brain slammed. Abruptly it was dark night, on the land and in the sky. In the night sky was a tiny ring of light. The hole where the sun belongs is very small. A thin ring of light marked its place. There was no sound. The eyes dried, the arteries drained, the lungs hushed. There was no world. We were the world’s dead people rotating and orbiting around and around, embedded in the planet’s crust, while the earth rolled down. Our minds were light-years distant, forgetful of almost everything.
