GRAVE DIGGER – “Kingdom of Skulls” (Official Video)

Taken off “Bone Collector” (January 17th, 2025)

“Yeah, here it is finally, our first track from the new album “Bone Collector” with the accompanying video. A good portion of heavy metal with straight guitar riffs, pumping bass, mighty drums and my “popular” grater voice. As if time had stood still in the 80s, the track blasts out of the speakers in old-school style like in the best of times. No bling bling, but metal as it should be … and with this awesome oldschool video. More Grave Digger trademarks in one song ? … hardly possible … Enjoy this piece of hot metal and look forward to what’s to come. Your Chris “reaper” Boltendahl”

Lyrics:
In the dead of night see shadows in the dark
Skeletons dance, with nowhere to go
Gates of the underworld, creaking open wide
Beware the undead, lurking in the night

A skeleton king
On a bony throne
Eyes hollowed deep
Where souls are unknown

Kingdom of skulls
Trapped in this maze
No life can be saved
Kingdom of skulls
Where life is sold
Lost and cold

The clock strikes midnight, it’s the hour of dread
In this cruel domain, the living are misled
Witches brew potions, casting spells of fear
The reaper’s scythe, drawing ever near
