...( Opis )...

Grim Reaper were one of the later bands in the NWOBHM scene, sounding a bit more like American power/trad metal. 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
