On two CDs, resp. two DVDs the listener/watcher is sent on a pleasant trip through the history of GRAVE DIGGER. Included are Songs from all episodes of the band’s journey. "Heavy Metal Breakdown" (from the 1984 debut album), the titletrack from the famous comeback album "The Reaper" (1993) up to songs like "Desert Rose" from the newest output "The Last Supper". The best way to get an overview of the bands work in the last 25 years. The show was recorded on May, 7th in Sao Paulo's Directive Hall, Brasil. Definitely a dignified location for a festivity like this. Watch the brasilian fans go fucking crazy! No need to say that Grave Digger nearly burned the place with their energetic live performance. Without question a night to remember. No problem thanks to this DVD. Watch it and enjoy it.

1984, GRAVE DIGGER released their legendary debut album "Heavy Metal Breakdown" and conquered the heart of the metal scene. A lot has happened in the world of GRAVE DIGGER since then. They achieved great recognition within the heavy metal community with their unique sound and became one of the leading bands in the German metal scene. Vocalist and band-leader Chris Boltendahl just released his biography “Grave Digger – die definitive Biografie” (so far only in German), which vividly illustrates all the band's ups and downs, their dreams and their successes.

Alongside acts such as Helloween, Running Wild, Sinner and Destruction, GRAVE DIGGER consistently created their own special sound and helped establish the label “Made In Germany” as an international trade mark for quality heavy metal. On their early records like "Heavy Metal Breakdown" and "Witchhunter" their style was a primary example of the true Teutonic sound. Back in the '90s, GRAVE DIGGER began working on concept albums focusing more upon topics steeped in legends and sagas. Excellent records like "Heart Of Darkness", "Tunes Of War", "Knights Of The Cross", "Excalibur", "The Grave Digger" or "Rheingold" pushed the band into higher ground of recognition, even as far as breaking into the official German charts.

The DVD also features the documentation "A Journey To Brasil" as bonus. Don’t miss the entertaining backstage scenes!
