GRIM JUSTICE release their second single from the most recent studio album "Justice in the Night" (February 2023, Iron Shield Records).
The Austrian Hard & Heavy band (est. 2010) plays mid-paced New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal inspired by 80's and 70's legends such as Accept, Saxon, and Iron Maiden. With "Hey Angel" the band ventures into more mainstream terrains. The rock ballad with almost poppy sensibility joins all the strengths of the band and definitely has hit potential. Grim Justice stand out through the strong vocals by front woman Michela who delivers surprisingly soft vocals in this masterpiece.
"For those in love with the NWOHM scene, you will die for this band. A must-have in your collection 100/100." (Frank Michaud, The Metal Mag)
lyrics
Hey Angel
When the night has come
And another day has passed
I walk away
On the same path that we took
On that faithful day
I remember it like it was
Only yesterday
He took me by the hand and said
Hey Angel
There's a thing I need to say
Hey Angel
Don't look at me this way
Hey Angel
I don't know how I should tell you
Oh Angel, I need you to stay
When those memories
They're coming back to me
I am wondering
How he could've done this to me
I am shivering
Still remembering his face
And his distant voice
He kept on telling me this way
Hey Angel
There's a thing I need to say
Hey Angel
Don't look at me this way
Hey Angel
I don't know how I should tell you
Oh Angel, I need you to stay
Now I am shutting the door
I can't stand it no more
My face covered in tears
It didn't happen in years
I'm asking myself
Why are these memories coming back
To haunt me, oh no
Hey Angel
There's a thing I need to say
Hey Angel
Don't look at me this way
Hey Angel
I don’t know how I should tell you
On Angel
I beg you to stay
Hey Angel
There’s a thing I need to say
Hey angel
Please, no, don't go away
Please don't walk away
