German metal band, GRAVE DIGGER, has unleashed their new music video for the track “Lawbreaker.” The song is taken from the band’s latest album “Healed By Metal,” which is out now via Napalm Records.
“Lawbreaker” is simply pure true traditional German metal at its finest: bikes, chicks, booze and metal. It evokes the spirit of the music as it was meant to be and Grave Digger has been the flagbearer for traditional metal styles for 36 years.
The band states: “The whole video is a big party. Sweat, Whisky, Girls and Metal! A metal video, wild and loud… that’s the way metal’s gotta be!”

After three albums, in 1986 Grave Digger decided to change their name into Digger and commercialize their sound. Boltendahl later admitted that their main motivation for this change was to make more money; this failed and the band split up in 1987. Later after Digger’s commercial flop the band Hawaii was founded by Boltendahl and Uwe Lulis. Hawaii released a demo called Bottles and Four Coconuts in 1989 before renaming themselves in 1991 to Grave Digger again.
Ballads of a Hangman is the first (and, to date, the only) Grave Digger album with two guitars, with Thilo Hermann joining the band in 2007. After releasing the album and ending an European tour, the band parted ways with Hermann in February 2009 after deciding they were not comfortable with the new six-piece arrangement.
Only a few months after these events, the remaining guitarist Manni Schmidt also left due to disputes with Boltendahl over the running of the band. Axel “Ironfinger” Ritt covered as a touring musician for a few months before joining permanently the next year.
