5.0 out of 5 stars Blast from OUR past...., December 11, 2000

By 

Asmodeus (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: See You in Hell (Audio CD)

This album defined an era in music when (dark and sinister overtones aside) music was marked by the unearthly wail of dark melodic guitars over staccato riffs, mixed with the wailing singer capable of shattering glass at the correct volume. Aside from the disrespect shown by Beavis and Butthead, these guys defined rock in the 80's, and still do, .... Grim Reaper rocked the world, were shafted as many bands have been (and continue to be), and went on to other endeavors. BUT! At least they hold the record for a #1 single to an "unsigned" band, and they have THREE albums to be monumentally proud of! As for guitar works and solos... Nick hit upon a progression of chords and notes that touch the melancholy dark side in listeners... and when you find paradise, why give it up? Plus, if you've truly listened to the three albums (of which this is the first), and have an ear for guitar work, his solos were NOT the same... rather, the style was the same (per Nick's own style), but the progressions and density were unique to each song. Also, these guys should be praised for picking a theme and sticking with it melodically throughout an entire 8 song record. Think upon this and be dismayed... should you NOT own the albums already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Grim Reaper - 80s English heavy metal invasion, September 17, 2004

If you like Iron Maiden you will probably like this band. Somewhat similar in sound this band still has its own flavor. I remember seeing them back in 84 when I was 14 and they blew me away. I think I bought every style of concert T-shirt they were selling at that show. I wish I still had one of those, maybe the baseball jersey or "muscle shirt". Ah memories. Their videos were kinda funny as some of the members are pretty chubby and don't do the spandex thing to well. For me it adds to their cheesiness appeal, as well as the nostalgia appeal of a certain time in my life (early teen) when I hadn't quite discovered punk rock and metal was the soundtrack to my rebellion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Debut From British Headbangers, November 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: See You in Hell (Audio CD)

This is a re-release of the 80's metal band's debut album. Originally thought to be a death metal band with Satanic lyrics and overtones, upon hearing this you will think otherwise. Never a great band, Grim Reaper did have some great songs. See You In Hell is perhaps their best. I recommend picking up their "Best of..." disc to get the full flavor of what this band was like. One thing that bothers me....why did all of Nick Bowcott's solos sound alike? I never figured that out.
