UK TOUR OCT/NOV 08

About Me


Latest News - October 2008
Preperations are on track for the forthcoming tour with the Tygers of Pan Tang and we are really excited about playing for you guys, the more Steve sings the stronger his voice gets. He is on top form and perfoming better than ever as are the entire band. The UK dates are listed on the website and myspace site so get along and enjoy what will be agreat night of Classic Hard Rock. The set will include songs from Personal Crises as well as classic Grim Reaper and Lionsheart favourites.
Further touring news will be released shortly but we are also planning trips to Greece in November, Northern Ireland & Norway in April and a whole host of other dates both in the UK and Eurpoe over the next 9 months. For those of you in the USA we are trying to get over there and opportunities have arisen which are very exciting for circa February/ March 2009. The only stumbling block is the Visa process but we will keep you informed as to progress. Keep checking out the sites for up to date news.
Recording is underway for the follow up album to Personal Crises and there are six songs in the bag so far. I know you would expect to hear this from us but it is going to be one hell of an album, the songs are fantastic. We will start studio reports very soon to keep you up to speed with events.
We now have a fantastic merchandise range covering classic Grim Reaper designs as well as personal Crises shirts. These will be on the webshop very soon to order. Check out the myspace blog for further details.
Finally check the details for the upcoming webstream which will be a Live un-edited performance shown around the world and totally free to watch. Check out the blog for this too.
I will see you either on tour or in Hell my friends
Latest News - August 2008
Sorry for the lack of information flowing through this site over the last few months, we have had to look at our whole entire infrastructure and plan for the next two years which is now set and agreed. The Industry has changed and this means that we have to change with these demands. Being in a band is a lot more complicated than ever before, as musicians we have been issolated from the business side but now with the digital age and self releasing of music all this is more transparent and there is a need for our input. We have signed to a new management company and the first task was to get the backroom side organised to give us the foundations to build on. We are very excited at some of the ideas and hopefully you guys will see and hear a lot more of the band in the future.
As you will now see on our Myspace Site we will be Special Guests to the NWOBHM Legends Tygers of Pan Tang during October/ November. There are still dates to confirm but we wanted to give you all as much notice as possible. We are informed that it will be a three band bill which will also include one of the best up and coming UK bands Crimes of Passion and tickets with be very competitively priced although this will vary by venue. We know its tough out there financially so we are delighted to be part of this tour which understands the fans and social issues. Please check out and contact the individual venues for ticket information. We do want to see you at a show and make yourself known to talk.
During the tour, possibly 1st November although yet to be confirmed, we are looking to enter the studio and carry out a Live worldwide Webstream. We will play Live for 1 hour, completely unedited. This will be great fun and a chance for all our fans in the USA, Europe and Japan to catch the band live. The song set will be as per the UK dates with a couple of nice suprises we promise. As soon as this is confirmed we will blog a note on the Myspace site with all the details.
Finally we are now looking to replace the existing official website and address and also looking at creating a mailing list for updates and news and will ask you all to be part of this. Keep checking in for more information on these.
See You In Hell My Friends

This is the brand new project put together by Steve Grimmett simply titled 'The Steve Grimmett Band'.
Steve Grimmett has a history that is nothing short of incredible, having what is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and original voices in rock & metal. As vocalist with the legendary Grim Reaper Steve accomplished major success during the 80’s with three highly acclaimed studio albums, along with single releases, MTV airplay, & extensive touring in the States. Grim Reaper videos can often still be seen on some of the major music channels. After Grim Reaper Steve spent a brief period with Onslaught and again enjoyed commercial success, including a single that charted in the UK. More recently Steve's success came in the form of Lionsheart, a powerful melodic metal band whose debut album reached number one in the mainstream Japanese chart.
In early 2006 Steve assembled a touring band with the intention of playing a full Grim Reaper set at a series of European metal festivals & venues. The band members that Steve recruited were guitarist Ian Nash who had previously worked with Steve in Lionsheart & bassist Rich Walker who had played with Ian in Seven Deadly Sins. Drummer Pete Newdeck, who has played with Paul Dianno’s Killers, completed the band line-up.
Steve & the boys’ live performances were incredibly well received that year & they had an awesome time rocking out across Europe together, so much so, that they began to consider how this project could progress & grow. It was during this period that the idea of forming a brand new band was conceived, a band that would combine all of the best elements of Grim Reaper & Lionsheart with a modern metal edge, utilising Ian’s melodic yet shredding guitar, Pete & Rich’s heart pounding rhythm section & of course Steve’s awesome vocal power. On their return to the UK the boys began writing & recording demos for a brand new album & The Steve Grimmett Band was born.
The songs for the new album were completed in early 2007. Pink Cream 69’s bassist & melodicrock.com’s ‘Producer of the year 2005’ Dennis Ward was secured to handle mixing & mastering duties. Pete Newdeck would take care of production & in February 2007 Steve & Pete travelled to Germany to lay down the vocals. The album, now entitled ‘Personal Crisis’ also features appearances by Eric Ragno (Jeff Scott Soto) ..s & Carsten Lizard Schulz (Evidence One) singing backing vocals.
This is where it has all come together & will remain, this is The Steve Grimmett Band.
SEE YOU IN HELL !!!
