Grimmstine features the legendary vocals of Steve Grimmett. Steve 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.
Steve Grimmett now joins forces with guitarist extraordinaire Steve Stine and the rhythm section of the us metal band Sons of Poseidon Dave Johnson on drums and Hat on bass. They form the band ‘Grimmstine’.
The soaring vocals of Steve Grimmett, the searing riffs of Steve Stine and the powerful rhythm section of Hat & Dave showcase the best of hard rock from the US and Great Britain and combine for pure metal with melody at its finest.
