The 1984 Listening Post - Grim Reaper - See You in Hell

Grim Reaper - See You in Hell


#204
July 13 1984
Grim Reaper
See You in Hell
3.5 out of 5


Highlights:
Wrath of the Ripper
Now or Never

How do I even regard this stuff? On its own? In comparison to the other bands of the day? I just don’t know. 
Somewhere between Venom, Saxon and all those metal bands squeezes Grim Reaper. Not really heavy enough to make a run for Priest. Steve Grimmet hits the high notes and considering this album was picked up by a major with little expectation and shot up to the top 70 of the billboard charts…good on em.
But, their power ballad…”The Show Must Go On”…avoid. Just…awful.
