Ballads of a Hangman is the fourteenth studio album by the German heavy metal band Grave Digger, and was released on January 27th, 2009. It is the first Grave Digger album to feature two guitarists, the only one to feature Thilo Hermann who co-wrote the album but was asked to leave soon after its release and also the last one with Manni Schmidt who left the band in October 2009 due to personal differences with Chris Boltendahl.
The semi-ballad "Lonely The Innocence Dies" featuring Veronica Freeman of Benedictum was noted for being close to a harder version of "Where The Wild Roses Grow" by Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave.[1]
