Grave Digger is well known German heavy metal band, but
Grave Digger never dissapointed their fans with some underachieve album, their sense to make good music was always enought to make at least good album. In 1998
Grave Digger released their
Knights of the Cross album and bring new light to the heavy metal world. On the art we can see Well equiped rider on the horse haeding for one of most mysterious artifacts ever golden grail, behind his back we can see lots of dead muslems, only by the cover you can except promising album. I will skip intro and tell something about
Knights of the Cross song, great power riff with double bit and very catchy arrangments, Chris's power voice telling us stories of the templars, and battle of
Jerusalem, great song. Monks Of war is standard
Grave Digger song with heavy middle tempo riffs. Fanatic
Assassins is realy great song, great riffs with excellent voice and then in the middle of the song we can hear Hodjas call to jihad. One of the most GD songs is on this album
Lionheart is heavy metal hymn with great guitar riff, not very complicated for playin but with such a power and speed, song is about Richard
Lionheart king of England who spend most of his life fighting in the east (
Legend of Robin Hood is from that time :)Keeper of the holy grail is good song, little slower but very
Grave Digger, and then my favorite part of album :
Baphomet - real heavy metal blasphemy great riffs with very melodic chorus,
Inquisition is the same, both great songs,
Curse Of Jaque is extraordinare metal piece, there is also very sad true story behind that song, It was in
Paris, leader of the templar order Jaque was arrested by the order of the pope and burned on the main square in
Paris, he cursed all his judges and they died at the same day he said.Templars were trialed for conspiracys with
Satan and Over The Sea is telling of their banishment from Europe, some legends said they went to America and live with Indians. I can't think for better ending of great album then Battle Of Bannockburn, great song starting with baggpipes, very fast, very heavy.If someone is interested battle of Bannockburn is battle between Robert Bruce king of Scots and English when Robert banish English from Scotland.On this album
Grave Digger sound perfect, production is on good level, all songs are very good and lyrics are better then ever, I think this is classical heavy metal piece and everyone should at least listen it once, but it is impossible after first time you will listen it until you die.
