Think like a combination ║ │ │║ between Iron Maiden, Dio, and a pinch of early ║ │ │║ Queensryche. An incredibly underrated band, ║ │ │║ almost completely forgotten by all. Steve ║ │ │║ Grimmet is easily one of my favorite vocalists, ║ │ │║ he has the classic 80's metal gruff voice, with ║ │ │║ alot of power and a very impressive range. The ║ │ │║ production on this album isn't anything to write ║ │ │║ home about, but it's not too bad, about what you ║ │ │║ would expect from 1985. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The album starts with the title track, which is ║ │ │║ just fucking classic. Great riffs, leads, and ║ │ │║ some very powerful vocals. "Come and take my ║ │ │║ hand...And on my commaaaannnnd! You will fear no ║ │ │║ evillll yeahh!" 80's metal at it's finest, and ║ │ │║ worth the price of the album alone. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Never Coming Back" has a really nice flow, ║ │ │║ reminscent of early Maiden. "Lord of Darkness" ║ │ │║ is like the previous track, a really nice ║ │ │║ groovy, half thrash riff. Check out that ║ │ │║ Halford-esque scream at about 1:06, that's sure ║ │ │║ to shatter windows. "Matter of Time" is more of ║ │ │║ the same formula, and trust me IT WORKS. "Rock & ║ │ │║ Roll Tonight" has a very cheesey intro, and some ║ │ │║ cheesey lyrics, it's not a bad song but it's ║ │ │║ better left to bands like Quiet Riot. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Let the Thunder Roar" is what I want to hear ║ │ │║ from Grim Reaper. A fast paced rocker, with a ║ │ │║ great chorus. "Lay it on the Line" is next, and ║ │ │║ no it's not a Triumph cover. Is an excellent mid ║ │ │║ paced song, with great crunchy riffs and some ║ │ │║ great vocals. "Fight For the Last" sounds like a ║ │ │║ Defenders of the Faith-era Priest song, Steve ║ │ │║ sounds great here, and the lyrics in this song ║ │ │║ are actually pretty cool "As the soldiers ║ │ │║ charge, out goes a battle cry...And blood runs ║ │ │║ into rivers where they lie" The last song is ║ │ │║ "Final Scream" and it's just a little too ║ │ │║ cheesey for my taste, the song itself isn't bad, ║ │ │║ but I cannot get past the intro...Man why did ║ │ │║ they have to do that, they almost had a near ║ │ │║ perfect album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ So in closing, there's not alot of diversity ║ │ │║ here. But if you're looking for diversity look ║ │ │║ else-where. Grim Reaper where a band that really ║ │ │║ stuck to their guns, and had the old "If it ║ │ │║ ain't broke, don't fix it" way of writing songs. ║ │ │║ I give this album my highest reccomndation, if ║ │ │║ you like 80's metal at all, you will love this. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Steve Grimmett - Voclas ║ │ │║ Nick Bowcott - Guitars ║ │ │║ Dave Wanklin - Bass ║ │ │║ Mark Simon - Drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ DISCOGRAPHY ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Bleed 'em Dry Demo 1981 ║ │ │║ For Demonstration Only Demo 1982 ║ │ │║ See You in Hell Full-length 1983 ║ │ │║ All Hell Let Loose (Tour Promo) Demo 1984 ║ │ │║ The Show Must Go On Single 1984 ║ │ │║ See You in Hell Single 1984 ║ │ │║ The show must go on (USA promotion) Single 1984 ║ │ │║ Fear No Evil Single 1985 ║ │ │║ Fear No Evil Full-length 1985 ║ │ │║ Rock You to Hell Single 1987 ║ │ │║ Lust for freedom Single 1987 ║ │ │║ Rock You to Hell Full-length 1987 ║ │ │║ Best of Grim Reaper Compilation 1999 ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Fear No Evil [04:01] │ │ 02 - Never Coming Back [03:34] │ │ 03 - Lord Of Darkness [03:01] │ │ 04 - Matter Of Time [04:16] │ │ 05 - Rock & Roll Tonight [04:00] │ │ 06 - Let The Thunder Roar [04:07] │ │ 07 - Lay It On The Line [04:08] │ │ 08 - Fight For The Last [02:59] │ │ 09 - Final Scream [05:30] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [35:36 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
