Monday, June 24: Grim Reaper, "Wrath of the Ripper"

R.I.P. Steve Grimmett (1959-2022)

Grim Reaper had outlasted the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and undergone some lineup changes before they got to recording See You in Hell in 1983, but tunes like “Wrath of the Ripper” were pure NWOBHM mayhem even with Nick Bowcott shredding during his solo.  Steve Grimmett’s wailing was a bit less histrionic than usual, certainly when compared to “See You in Hell”, and had more of a rough and gritty vibe to it.  Mostly, “Wrath of the Ripper” was a no-frills banger that aimed straight between the eyes and mostly got there on the power of Grim Reaper’s attack.

164. As Above, So Below - Angel Witch (NWOBHM, 2012)

Art by John Martin: " The Last Judgement", 1853

"The subjects are taken from The Book of Revelation. The Last Judgement illustrates the central event of the Book. On a throne in the heavens sits God in judgement, surrounded by the four and twenty elders. The four angels have sounded their trumpets after the opening of the Seventh Seal. Below on the right the forces of evil commanded by Satan are defeated; the armies of Gog and Magog tumble into the bottomless pit. To the left on Mount Zion are the good, already in the 'plains of heaven' and awaiting the call to appear before the throne."

This was one of John Martins last paintings.

CRONOS IN LEOPARD PRINT MAKES THIS PHOTOSHOOT -- THE UK PUNK INFLUENCE ON PROTO-THRASH IS KEY!

PIC INFO: Mega spotlight on English extreme metal/NWOBHM band VENOM, photographed in a graveyard during the band's "Welcome to Hell" era, c. early '80s/1981. 📸: Ross Halfin.

"After witnessing the SEX PISTOLS and the Bromley Contingent’s notoriously foul-mouthed run in with Bill Grundy on the "Today" show in the December of 1976, the 13-year-old [Conrad] Lant became radicalised -- he knew exactly what he wanted to do.

Luckily for him a switched on music teacher would let him and a couple of other mates skip maths and chemistry lessons so they could learn to play BEATLES, STATUS QUO and AC/DC numbers on the guitar instead.

This led to the high school outfit Album Graecum who blasted out ragged hyperspeed covers of BOWIE and T-REX numbers but with a pronounced filter: that of the angry teenage punk fan: "We played "Ride A White Swan"... but five times too fast!""

Come hear the moon is calling, The witching hour draws near, Come hear the bell is tolling, Mortals run in fear, Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry, Hold fast the sacrifice, For now it's the time to die, All hell breaks loose, Hell's breaking loose

Monday, September 2: Hell, “Save Us from Those Who Would Save Us"

R.I.P. Dave Halliday (d. 1987)

“Save Us from Those Who Would Save Us" was the only thing Hell recorded as an actual part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and while the track was full of NWOBHM aggression, energy and fun, it was also not shocking that they ultimately couldn’t build enough momentum to land a record deal at the height of the movement: while the band were strong enough musicians, there were more than enough bands that already sounded mostly like this.  The track was charming and had a nice charge to it, and Dave Halliday had a boyish enthusiasm in his snarl that went a long way towards excusing the no-budget production.  It was all likable fun, in the same way that so many NWOBHM bangers were, but not really anything more than that.
