"Reaping Death" is a single by Swedish black metal band Watain from the album Lawless Darkness.
In December 2009, Watain confirmed its appearance at Sweden Rock Festival and announced a tribute to Bathory as part of its performance on 12 June 2010.
At the presentation in Stockholm, Watain's frontman Erik Danielsson explained that "Reaping Death" is a song written as a tribute to Cain.
[3] Adrien Begrand of PopMatters in his review of Lawless Darkness pointed out that "'Reaping Death' approaches the simplicity of Immortal in the way the verses border on straight-up thrash metal, the pre-chorus riff reminiscent of early Celtic Frost as [Erik] Danielsson spouts his usual Satanic shtick in surprisingly effective cadences and rhyming schemes: 'Hail!
'"[4] In contrast, David E. Gehlke of Blistering.com stated that "'Reaping Death' upholds the bold and bloody angle of pure black metal.
