Grim Reaper were formed in 1979 in Droitwich, England ( just up the road from us ) and were discovered after beating over 100 other acts to win a Battle of the Bands.
They were awarded studio time and from that studio time came the Bleed em' Dry demo. The demo would serve as Grim Reaper's calling card to the world and the track "The Reaper" would go on to be on the 1981 compilation Heavy Metal Heroes.
The track caught the attention of Ebony Records and original vocalist Paul DeMercado was replaced with the one and only Steve Grimmett. The demo For Demonstration Only was released in 1982 and by the time their debut album See You In Hell was released in 1983 the group had adopted a more mainstream heavy metal style. With their trade mark sound in place Grim Reaper's See You In Hell was picked up by RCA who re-released the album.
With the band's career ready to take off legal battles with Ebony Records would delay the release of the band's third album Rock You to Hell. After almost two years the album was released in 1987 directly through RCA Records. By that time though the scene had changed. With thrash metal all the rage Grim Reaper's melodic power metal style was out of vogue. Despite being on a major and having popular videos in heavy rotation the band couldn't hold on. With production on their fourth studio album about to start Ebony Records leveled another round of legal blows to the band.
By 1988 Grim Reaper were done. Steve Grimmett went on to front Onslaught and Lionsheart. Guitarist Nick Bowcott (who helped craft the Grim Reaper sound with his guitar style) became a freelance music writer. He would also go on to write for Circus and Guitar World as well as working for Marshall Amplification's United States division.
