Grave Digger unveil previously-unreleased new song "Hellfire Crusade"

2025 does not only see German iconic metal institution Grave Digger celebrate its 45th anniversary, but the release of their 23rd, chart success album “Bone Collector” by the beginning of the new year via the band’s label partner ROAR.

Now, the heavy metal titans have shared a previously-unreleased song, taken off the songwriting session for “Bone Collector”! “Hellfire Crusade”, a track that is 100% tailored to every headbanger with a chorus that sticks in the ear canals after one listen, once again showcases the raw and unbridled side of the band. 45 years in the game and Grave Digger show no signs of slowing down, on the contrary, the band is in top form in 2025 and does not want to deprive the fans of this further piece of German heavy metal. In this song, the band performs at the highest level and once again shows all their class and experience. Metal as it should be. Raw, brutal, filigree and always 120% forward!

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 more than four decades later with their latest, new masterpiece “Bone Collector”, an album that sees the band going back to their old school roots.

“Bone Collector” was released as a CD digipak, picture vinyl, colored marbled vinyl, RPM exclusive splatter vinyl and digitally on January 17th through ROAR. At the RPM & ROAR Mailorder Shop, the limited splatter vinyl and the digipak are also available as a bundle with the exclusive “Old School” shirt.
