After 42 years in the metal business, Grave Digger’s front icon Chris Boltendahl will release his first solo album. Under the banner of Chris Boltendahl’s Steelhammer, “Reborn in Flames” will see the light of day on July 28th, 2023, via ROAR! Rock of Angels Records!
Chris was able to win over an illustrious guild of first-class musicians for this work… none other than the ex-Orden Ogan guitar wizard Tobias Kersting can be found on the guitar. With him Chris wrote all 10 tracks on “Reborn in Flames”.
The album is rounded off by the cover version of the classic “Beds are Burning” by Midnight Oil. The line-up is completed by Lars Schneider on bass (ex Orden Ogan) and Patrick Klose on drums (Iron Savior). “Reborn in Flames” brims with classic power metal riffs… in various interviews promised Chris a glowing mixture of “Grave Digger meets Metal Church”, which hits the nail on the head!
“Reborn in Flames” will be released on July 28th, 2023, as Digipack CD, black vinyl, limited sun yellow vinyl, limited splatter vinyl, limited picture disc, digital streaming / download and as a limited to 500 copies collector’s black steel box with logo printing on the lid that includes: digipack CD, a metal necklace with waxy cord strap, a woven logo patch and photocard which is signed by Chris!
