25 To Live
Grave Digger is a German heavy metal band that was first formed in 1980 by Chris Boltendahl and Peter Masson. Emerging from the early-to-mid 1980s heavy metal scene of their native country, Grave Digger has been referred to as one of the so-called "big four" of German power metal, along with Helloween, Rage and Running Wild. Band history Early years and split (1980–1987) After various appearances at small festivals, the band recorded two songs for the compilation album ''Rock from Hell'' in 1983. A year later, Grave Digger, now comprising Chris Boltendahl (vocals), Peter Masson (guitar), Willi Lackmann (bass) and Albert Eckardt (drums), released their debut album ''Heavy Metal Breakdown''.

The Last Supper (Grave Digger Album)

Inspiration Despite claims to the contrary, the album is not a concept album, although several songs are based on the last days of Jesus Christ: * "The Last Supper", about the last supper of Jesus Christ and the treachery of Judas * "Soul Savior", about Christianity Christianity is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
