Steve Grimmett is back with Grim Reaper after the band suddenly disappeared after their brilliant album Rock You To Hell (1987). This year he reunited with original guitarist Nick Bowcott at Sweden Rock Festival.
MER’s Stig G. Nordahl had had chat with the guys about what happened after the Rock You To Hell album, why the time was right for a Grim Reaper comeback and the forthcoming album!
Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
