Grave Digger release “Faces Of Pain” on 15 January 2027 through Reaper Entertainment. It follows “Bone Collector”, the album they put out for the band’s forty-fifth anniversary.
It was produced by singer Chris Boltendahl at Graveyard Studios in Senden, with cover art by Uwe Jarling. The label has revealed seven track titles and placed them: “Faces Of Pain” and “Satan’s Tango” are the fast ones, “The Number”, “Legends Never Die” and “When The World Is Calling You” sit at mid-tempo, and “Dead Sun” and “Say Hello To The Devil” are the dark ones.
Boltendahl highlights the work with guitarist Tobias Kersting: “The collaboration with Tobias on guitar has grown incredibly strong and has ended up as a deeply rooted creative partnership. His riffs, my lyrics and our shared vision unleashed an incredible dynamic.”
The “Legends Never Die Tour ’27” opens on 14 January at the Kubana Live Club in Siegburg and closes on 13 February at the RuhrCongress in Bochum. There are fifteen dates, fourteen in Germany and one in Switzerland, on 24 January at the Z7 Konzertfabrik in Pratteln, with Motorjesus and Warwolf opening. None are in Spain.
No track has been released yet, nor has the full album tracklist.
