See You in Hell/Fear No Evil - Grim Reaper (CD 2006)

ok, to set a nice precedent for this album and it's review, im going to give a brief history that lead to my purchase of it...
My good friend Matt Mersiowsky and I were sitting at his house one hot summuer day in 2002, trying to make the ultimate metal compilation... in trying to think of a cheesy metal cliche song, i thought back to an old episode of beavis and butthead, where they were making fun of a video saying the singer looked like a pig, and that he sang like a chick. in my attempt to remember the song, i remember the band name; grim reaper... the song we found and added to the comp. was their legacy, See You in Hell....
Now that that's said and done, i'll say this; Grim Reaper is not a band to be taken too seriously. They really are the bottom of the barrel for 80's metal. this album is a double album for a reason; no one would shell out double the cash for the two, because you are just as good setting your hard-earned cash aflame. their songs are incredibly simple, the lyrics are horrible, and they make spinal tap appear to be gods of rock (which they are, by the way). I'm going to touch on the only songs on this album worth bringing up...

See You In Hell... This song is ok, considering you don't take it seriously... song has a very simple chord progression, a horrible solo, and some of the highest pitch singing you'll ever hear. just the sort of a song you sit around to and laugh at.

Dead on Arrival... This song makes you wonder if anyone ever went up to singer steve grimmit and said, "you think you can tone it down a bit?"... this song is one high pitched squeal after another, and it really makes me wish somebody would have stopped this guy from singing by putting a bullet in his head. another simple song, a very similar progression to see you in hell

Matter of Time... The only okay song on the album... this one really took me by surprise by having somewhat of a riff to it, and halfway decent lyrics. grimmit's voice isn't as annoying on this track, and comes off as a half decent tune that can be enjoyed rather than mocked with the rest of the album.

that's about it...grim reaper, you are gone, you are forgotten, but you're wailing testicle squashing vocals will live on in my eardrums for years.
