Career: Grimmett began his career in the era of new wave of British heavy metal. His original band was the short-lived Medusa, before he became known as the lead vocalist for Grim Reaper. He also briefly sang as a onetime guest with the band Chateaux on their "Chained and Desperate" album.

Grimmett later featured in Onslaught for a brief period, before forming Lionsheart and in more recent times, The Steve Grimmett Band and GrimmStine.

Grim Reaper achieved major success worldwide with three highly acclaimed studio albums along with single releases and MTV airplay.

After Grim Reaper came a brief spell with Onslaught, with a debut single that charted in the U.K.

The Steve Grimmett Band is a more recent project, with Grimmett backed by Ian Nash, Chaz Grimaldi and Pete Newdeck.

This band has continued to gig as Steve Grimmett's Grim Reaper with a lineup now featuring Mark Rumble on drums.

Grimmett had just come back from the U.S. promoting his international band GrimmStine which includes Grimmett on vocals, Steve Stine on guitar, Hat on bass and Dave Johnson on drums. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2008.

Grimmett recorded a music video in conjunction with a commercial for Garmin that aired during the 2007 Super Bowl XLI.

In January 2017, Grimmett was hospitalized in Ecuador due to an aggressive infection on his right leg below the knee, where it was amputated in the process.He remained stationed in the medical facility until being released in February.

In April, he began to walk again with a prosthetic metal leg attached.On the 14th of July of that same year, Grimmett performed on stage for the first time since his operation in a wheelchair at Bang Your Head!!!

He's been active with his various bands and projects ever since. R.I.P. Steve Grimmett you will be greatly missed! Gone but never forgotten!

BAY AREA THRASH/HARDCORE REACHES UK SHORES -- UP THE THRASHER-PUNKS!

PIC INFO: Spotlight on an unnamed UK thrasher with impeccable tastes in the then underground sounds of the era, mainly of the Bay Area thrash metal & hardcore punk subgenres, c. 1984.

Really wish there was more background info to be shared on this certain UK thrasher (what gig he was attending, for starters), but the mysterious aspect does hold its own allure as well.
