GRAVE DIGGER unleash new video single "Killing is my Pleasure" from upcoming, new studio album “Bone Collector”!


2025 will see German metal institution, Grave Digger, celebrate its 45th anniversary. 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 with their forthcoming, 23rd studio album “Bone Collector”, slated for a release on January 17, 2025 via ROAR!


Following the previously-released, first album appetizer "Kingdom Of Skulls, today, the heavy metal titans are premiering a video clip for their brand new single "Killing is my Pleasure"!


Band leader Chris Boltendahl reveals: “There it is – the new Grave Digger single, "Killing is My Pleasure"… It’s based on a riff created by bassist Jens Becker in collaboration with guitarist Tobi Kersting. The song's lyrics are inspired by the infamous mafia contract killer Richard Kuklinski, who was believed to have committed over 200 murders before his death in 2006. Known as the “Iceman” due to his cold-blooded nature, Kuklinski had a family with three children and would leave his home every day like any ordinary “nine-to-five” worker.

Musically, the new single is a piece of pure heavy metal - no frills, just direct and uncompromising. The chorus drills into your head and it's hard to get the song out of your mind!"
