GRAVE DIGGER has been crushing ear drums and schooling us about some of the greatest events and battles throughout World history for the last 40+ years. The German heavyweights recently signed with Greek label Rock of Angels Records to unleash their 21st studio album Symbol of Eternity.

For their latest opus, the “Indian Jones of Heavy Metal” Chris Boltendahl tackles the true stories and folklore of the Knights Templar with his lyrics. I had the chance to speak with the GRAVE DIGGER frontman and founder ahead of the album’s release.

Highlights include:

-Discussion of Symbol of Eternity
-Stories behind the singles
-Fan-friendly album formats
-Signing with Rock of Angels Records
-Covering Greek musician Vasilis Papakonstantinou
-Touring plans
-Why retirement is not an option
-Working on his 1st solo album
-And much, much more
