The Reaper - Apollo 440


I have been looking for remakes of this Blue Oyster Cult tune and have found one. So it's my own fault. Link in comments.

Here is another
The Muttonbirds
This was used in an Early Peter Jackson Film, 'The Frighteners' And yes, that is Michael J Fox.
Enjoy!

Thank you LMEV. I like it a lot! It also drove the Apollo 440 version out of my mind which is very much appreciated.

Now I've done it. I rather easily found 20 more versions of Reaper out there, by choirs, metal bands, acoustic bands, and more, and of course the Harp Twins.

Here's one that resides in my collection, by Clint (Foetus) Ruin and Lydia Lunch.

That was worth a listen. I'll call it grungey metal with mixed shouting vocals.

As descriptions go, personally, I like it, but you're never going to fit that on a record store divider card...

Good one, Rich. I'm going to post another one right here.

Quite enjoyed The Alice Band. The song wasn't bad either...!

Good one. They have more music videos on Youtube that are similar.
