One of the great metal canons of the '90s!

"The Reaper is one freakin' ferocious ripride through the veritable metal pantheon! I mean you don't get much better than this, boyz and goils. Slamming-guitar-wall-of-sound-hoochie-coochie-satan-loving-pure-lovin'-hot-oven-stuffin' pastry for the ears is the only way to describe it! Those vocals are restless and wild, Acceptable with a capital "A." Udo should be soooooooo proud. Grave Digger is your basic high-calorie, high-octane version of fellow Germanic metallers Accept except with more passion for complete metal domination and a more voracious appetite for destruction. Highly, highly recommended. A seriously evil metal platter that serves up fresh Lucifer pie with every joyous listen! -David J Newman 2003"
Fast, hard hitting and powerful Heavy Metal album.

"The "Reaper" by Grave Digger is a powerful example of great Heavy Metal. This music could make you drive a hundred miles per hour, before you would realize it. If you looking for heavy and fast, but good sounding as well, this album is for YOU!!"
WOW

"I was taken aback by this album, after purchasing "The Grave Digger", I didn't think Grave Digger was faster of heavier, boy was I wrong. I knew in the opening second slash like sound, I was in for a treat. A little history for the new people: This is the 1993 reformation album. Six years before(1987) Grave Digger put out a commercial album called "Stronger Than Ever" under the name Digger. Luckily it failed, but Chris declared the band dead. So, one song in, Grave Digger has definitely returned. From "Tribute to Death" to "Madness Continues" you're treated to a heavy bombardment of music. Very fast, very loud. A great addition for any metal fan. This band needs more exposure I mean they've been out since 1980, how many people listen to them? Try to pick up a copy today, if possible, since it's seems to have gone out of print JUST THIS WEEK!"
