German heavy metal legends Grave Digger present “The Number”, the new single from their upcoming studio album Faces of Pain, set for release on January 15, 2027 via Reaper Entertainment. With “The Number”, Grave Digger reveal a particularly intense side of their new album. Musically, the track is built around a powerful, riff-driven mid-tempo foundation, a massive chorus and Chris Boltendahl’s unmistakably rough vocals. Its dark and menacing atmosphere provides the setting for a subject that is particularly close to the Grave Digger frontman’s heart.

Chris Boltendahl comments: “”The Number” is far more than just a song – it is a cry against forgetting and a memorial to humanity.

We look back at one of the darkest chapters in history. There was a time when people were stripped of their names, their identities and their dignity. Instead, numbers were burned into their skin. They were no longer seen as human beings, but treated like animals – trapped in an unimaginable system of systematic inhumanity.

When we look at the world today, a justified fear begins to creep in: the fear that these horrific times, in a different form, could one day return. That we might forget where hatred and the dehumanization of others can lead.

This is exactly where “The Number” comes in. This song is an unequivocal statement against the horrors of the past. Against what happened and what none of us ever want to experience again. But despite its serious and historical context, the song carries an even more important message: it is a symbol of hope. A sign for peace, for the inviolable dignity of every human being and for a future in which every name matters and every individual is free to be who they are.”

“The Number” offers another taste of Faces of Pain. Following the straightforward old-school approach of their 45th-anniversary album Bone Collector, Grave Digger continue down this path with a record that sees the band as energetic, uncompromising and diverse as ever.

Razor-sharp riffs, massive choruses, and Chris Boltendahl’s unmistakably rough vocals form the backbone of the album. Fast-paced heavy metal bangers such as “Faces of Pain” and “Satan’s Tango” meet riff-driven mid-tempo anthems including “The Number”, “Legends Never Die” and “When The World Is Calling You”, while “Dead Sun” and “Say Hello To The Devil” reveal the band at their heaviest and darkest.

Pre-orders for the new Grave Digger album are now open. Faces of Pain will be released on January 15, 2027 via Reaper Entertainment and is available in various formats and limited editions.

More than 45 years after their formation, Grave Digger shows no signs of slowing down. Faces of Pain is an album packed with energy and classic heavy metal – firmly rooted in the band’s history while looking straight ahead. “Faces of Pain” is available to pre-order here.

The album was produced by Chris Boltendahl at Graveyard Studios in Senden, Germany.

Available as a 5-color-LP box set and a 5CD box set, Totally Twisted chronicles the era in which Twisted Sister evolved from a New York City club phenomenon into an international heavy metal powerhouse.

Formed in New Jersey in the early 1970s, Twisted Sister emerged as one of heavy metal’s most distinctive and successful bands, combining powerful riffs, anthemic choruses, theatrical imagery and an unmistakable spirit of rebellion.

The band’s best-known lineup, responsible for its first four albums, featured Jay Jay French (guitar), Eddie “Fingers” Ojeda (guitar), Dee Snider (lead vocals), Mark “The Animal” Mendoza (bass) and A.J. Pero (drums). Following the Come Out and Play tour, Pero departed the group and was succeeded by former Good Rats drummer Joey “Seven” Franco, who performed on the band’s 1987 album, Love Is for Suckers.

Twisted Sister achieved international breakthrough success with the release of Stay Hungry in 1984. Certified multi-platinum in the United States, the album produced two of the era’s most enduring rock anthems, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” propelling the band to worldwide prominence.

With their uncompromising sound, iconic music videos, and larger-than-life visual identity, Twisted Sister helped define the musical and cultural landscape of 1980s heavy metal. Their enduring catalog and singular approach to performance continue to resonate with generations of rock and metal fans around the world.
