Scotland’s ibex-obsessed blackened thrash bastard of Hades, otherwise known as HELLRIPPER<\/strong>, is now unleashing the electrifying title track from his upcoming fourth studio album, ‘Coronach,’ which will be released worldwide on March 27, 2026<\/strong> via Century Media Records<\/strong>, making it his debut to the label! The anthemic single, \u201cCoronach,\u201d can now be heard along with a lyric video created by Irvan Dionisi \/ Theblackvisual.id<\/strong> at THIS LOCATION<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hellripper\u2019s mastermind, guitarist\/vocalist and songwriter James McBain comments, \u201cA coronach is a vocal lament traditionally performed at funerals in the Scottish highlands. Intertwined with my own words is the poem of the same name by Sir Walter Scott, which served as an inspiration for this story: the funeral of an ambivalent and mysterious figure, revered by his community for his heroic deeds but whose life hid many dark secrets. As well as lyrically, the track is also a musical experiment for me; it was primarily influenced by late 80\u2019s thrash metal along with bands like Bathory, Gallowbraid and Atlantean Kodex. A dash of post-punk, a fair amount of Iron Maiden-style guitar harmonies, some classical references and the haunting wail of the bagpipes fading in the distance: this song feels like the perfect farewell to the album.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
