Background notes
Archive material and source history
Reaper formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. Their first release was the 1984 EP 'Heady,' which gave the band its early signature track. The song 'Heady' built a following with its eerie atmosphere and themes that leaned into darker territory.
Their lineup included vocalist Mickey Finn, guitarist Eric Schwarz, bassist Jim Smith, and drummer Dennis McGrath. They put out albums like 'Darkness Descends' in 1987 and 'Mortal Sin' in 1989. The music drew some criticism for its morbid tone, but it connected with listeners who were drawn to that style.
Reaper's catalog includes songs like 'RUNAWAY' featuring Josh Rubin, 'Urnensand,' and 'X-junkie.' They released a greatest hits compilation called 'The Grim Reaper' in 1992.
