Reign in Blood
Slayer
Subject to some of Beavis and Butthead’s most hilariously savage mocking, Grim Reaper came armed with radio-ready hooks like their brethren across the ocean on the Sunset Strip, but their goofy looks and Steve Grimmett’s ceiling-scraping screech didn’t exactly endear them to the masses. Still, the title track remains one of the NWOBHM’s most durable ear-catchers, and if the rest doesn’t quite live up to that, they won’t make you leave the room to make pancakes.
