Frank Ullrich (Living Death, Holy Moses, Grave Digger): In search of perfection

For me Frank Ullrich needs no introduction, and shame on you if you are not familiar with his name! This humble man recorded some classic albums with such monsters of German metal scene like Living Death, Holy Moses, Grave Digger, X-Wild along with some smaller bands. So when I found him on Facebook, I immediately asked him for an interview. Frank kindly agreed and gave full answers to all my (sometimes unecessary) questions. 

Interview with Peter Masson and Chris F. Brank (ex-Grave Digger)

 

Grave Digger were one of the bands which turned me on heavy metal. I was 14 and listened to various music trying to figure out what suits me better. I was already into Maiden and Helloween and then I heard "Tunes of War". Remember that demonic roar in the beginning of "Scotland United"? I literally shitted my pants and thoight, "Wow! That IS my music!" I became a life-long fan and of course I loved "Heavy Metal Breakdown", "Witch Hunter", even "War Games" and "Stronger Than Ever"! For years and years I asked myself: "Where is Peter Masson, the guy who wrote or co-wrote all those anthems from the early albums?" The search was over in 2021 and Peter agreed to answer my questions about his past life with Grave Digger and other projects he's been playing with. His colleague and band mate Chris F. Brank also contributed to the interview!
