Grave Digger - 'Hell Is My Purgatory' (official video)
Wind up these fools
Light it never comes
In victim's grave
All hope is gone
Religious crime
We can't hear the screams
When sorrow dies
At the end of a dream
Blood drips from the tomb
I step onto your grave
Living in religious gloom
The devil kills the brave
Hell is my purgatory
I'm a sinner, I'm your priest
Hell is my purgatory
Faith unleashed the beast
Hell is my damnation
My holy revelation
Hell is my crematory
Hell! Hell! Hell!
Lines in resistance
Blood on their hands
Unholy alliance
Sorrow never ends
Madness reigns
War crimes again
Immortal slaves
Grinding from their graves
Blood drips from the tomb
I step onto your grave
Living in religious gloom
The devil kills the brave
Hell is my purgatory
I'm a sinner, I'm your priest
Hell is my purgatory
Faith unleashed the beast
Hell is my damnation
My holy revelation
Hell is my crematory
Hell! Hell! Hell!
Living in religious gloom
The devil kills the brave
Hell is my purgatory
I'm a sinner, I'm your priest
Hell is my purgatory
Faith unleashed the beast
Hell is my damnation
My holy revelation
Hell is my crematory
Hell! Hell! Hell!

Full length album νούμερο εικοσιένα για τους Grave Digger. "Symbol of Eternity" ο τίτλος του νέου δισκογραφικού πονήματος των Γερμανών metallers και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του καλοκαιριού...
Δελτίο τύπου: «German metal institution Grave Digger announces the release of their new album “Symbol of Eternity”! Grave Digger have been an integral part of the German heavy metal scene for over 4 decades.
Chris Boltendahl, Axel Ritt, Jens Becker and Marcus Kniep are not only a force to be reckoned with in the live sector, they also regularly deliver high-quality Heavy Metal albums. On their latest album "Symbol of Eternity" they continue to spin the story of the Crusaders... after having dealt with it once before on the album "Knights of the Cross", they devote themselves once again to the fabled history of the Templars.
Razor-sharp riffs, opulent choir arrangements and the distinctive voice of Chris Boltendahl are components of Grave Digger's new work. All the trademarks that have made the band stand out for 4 decades can be heard on the album... an original and hard album is "Symbol of become eternity".
And yet, next to the merciless riffs, like in the opening headbanger "Battle Cry", melodic refrains are always in the foreground... hard double bass attacks alternating with mid-tempo songs and the almost doom-like title track will make every headbanger's heart beat faster.
Grave Digger have never been so varied and are not afraid to think outside the box like on the bonus track "Hellas Hellas" which is a cover of the Greek superstar Vasilis Papakonstantinou in which Chris sings Greek for the first time in his career and the Band was even able to win Vasilis himself for some vocal passages.
Open your ears and eyes when the new album will be in stores worldwide on August 26th, 2022 and you can take another journey into the secret world of the Templars... The king is dead... long live the king! "Symbol Of Eternity" will be released on August 26, 2022 in the following formats:
