As if time had stood still in the 80s, the track blasts out of the speakers in the very best old-school style. No bling-bling, just heavy metal as it should be&#8230; and this awesome oldschool video to boot! More Grave Digger trademarks in one song? That&#8217;s hardly possible, so enjoy this hot piece of metal and look forward to what&#8217;s to come.
