Album Description:

Grim Reaper's 1985 release "Fear No Evil" is a heavy metal classic that showcases the band's hard-edged sound and powerful vocals. The album, released on Ebony Records, features ten tracks that solidify Grim Reaper's status as a force to be reckoned with in the metal genre.

Side two continues with "Let The Thunder Roll," a hard-hitting track that features thunderous drums and a driving bassline. "Lay It On The Line" showcases the band's penchant for memorable hooks, while "Fight To The Last" features searing guitar solos and an anthemic chorus.

“Fear No Evil”, Grim Reaper’s 1985 metal strike, sharpened their NWOBHM identity with ripping guitars, soaring vocals, and that unmistakable Ebony Records grit. The original EBON 32 pressing delivered pure mid-80s fury, while the 2013 Steamhammer red-vinyl reissue resurrected the album for a new wave of collectors craving that raw, high-voltage Droitwich sound.

“Rock You To Hell”, the band’s third and final studio blast, hit in 1987 when heavy metal was exploding worldwide. Grim Reaper pushed their NWOBHM power with searing falsetto vocals, razor-bright riffs, and big arena choruses. Released in Germany via RCA and in the USA through RCA Victor, this album marked their most international moment, carrying their Droitwich steel across both sides of the Atlantic.

RCA Victor NFL1-8038 (1984, USA)

“See You In Hell” (1984) launched Grim Reaper straight into NWOBHM history with shrieking vocals, molten riffs, and that signature Max Norman studio punch.
