Grim Reaper - See You in Hell (1984/RCA)
Rating - 7.6

Grim Reaper was an English band and part of the NWOBHM sound, though they were a bit late on the scene/movement itself. There are some major Iron Maiden undertones here, and this is definitely early Power Metal (with some cheesy themes to boot). The band was bolstered by Nick Bowcott on guitars and Steve Grimmett on vocals - both of whom were very capable at their crafts.
The steady flow of the title track makes it one of metal's true unheralded gems. "Run For Your Life" is energetic and steady, and other good cuts include "All Hell Let Loose," "Liar," and "Wrath of the Ripper".

TRACK LIST: See You in Hell/Dead on Arrival/Liar/Wrath of the Ripper/Now or Never/Run For Your Life/The Show Must Go On/All Hell Let Loose
