the track “The Reaper” would go on to be on the 1981 compilation Heavy Metal Heroes and caught the attention of Ebony Records and original vocalist Paul DeMercado was replaced with the one and only Steve Grimmett. The demo For Demonstration Only was released in 1982 and by the time their début album See You In Hell was released in 1983 the group had adopted a more mainstream heavy metal style. With their trade mark sound in place Grim Reapers See You In Hell was picked up by RCA who re-released the album.
