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 one opens with the title track, "Fear No Evil," an anthemic call to arms that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

"Never Coming Back" follows, a high-energy track that features a blistering guitar solo from Nick Bowcott. "Lord of Darkness (Your Living Hell)" showcases Grimmett's impressive range, as he delivers both powerful high notes and ominous growls. "A Matter of Time" and "Rock and Roll Tonight" round out side one with catchy choruses and infectious guitar riffs.

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.
