Band from Illertissen, Germany formed in 1975. Founded as Heizkörper by Rudi Dorner and Mike Schmidt. When in 1976 they were joined by Berti Majdan, they changed the name to Oregon. In early 1977, when they were joined by Wolfgang Rittner and Andy Müller, they changed name again to Gravestone - this was the idea of Berti Majdan. Around 1990, the band's name was finally changed to 48 Crash.The band reformed in 2019 to play a few selected shows again adopting the "Gravestone" moniker from their most successful times. However they do not plan to record new music.
