Reaper

'The Reaper' is a song by American electronic duo The Chainsmokers featuring Australian singer Amy Shark. It was released on December 6, 2019 in Australia, as the seventh single from the duo's third studio album, World War Joy. The D-Reaper, also known as the 'True Enemy', is a digital lifeform which appears as the central antagonist in Digimon Tamers. It is referred to as 'Matador' (Por: Killer) in Brazilian Digimon Tamers materials. Unlike most inhabitants of the Digital World in Tamers, it is not a Digimon; while.

The Reaper is the fifth studio album by the German Power metal and speed metal band Grave Digger. It was released on 2 November 1993 for the label GUN Records. This was the band's return after a long hiatus, released seven years after their previous album Stronger Than Ever.

About the album[edit]

A new line-up was formed except for the band leader, Chris Boltendahl and guitar player Uwe Lulis. The latter had convinced Boltendahl to release a new album in the first place, which was why he later on tried to get the name Grave Digger when he parted from the rest of the band (after the release of Excalibur). In this album there was a change towards darker lyrics and faster songs, as well as the start of the trend of featuring the Grim Reaper on the cover. The album cover image itself is a 'Dance of Death' woodcut by 19th century German artist Alfred Rethel. Much of the material was written in the late 1980s, during Boltendahl's short-lived project, Hawaii.
