Schottlands blackened Thrasher, um Mastermind James McBain, HELLRIPPER, veröffentlichen den nächsten Track ihres “Coronach” getauften Longplayers, der am 27. März in die Läden kommt. Die Single `Mortercheyn` feiert heute seine Premiere im Video.
James McBain kommentiert den Track:
“Musically, „Mortercheyn“ is a crust track at its core, drenched in a sinister atmosphere that lies between the black metal vibe of Watain and the raw aggression of bands like Martyrdöd and Skitsystem. Hints of Whiplash and Agent Steel are clearly evident in the guitar work and are paired with some uncomfortable ambience inspired by the likes of Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares. On the surface, it may feel like one of the less „complex“ songs on the album, but I think there’s quite a lot going on throughout”.
Ende dieses Monats starten HELLRIPPER dann auch ihre “Goatkraft And Granite“ Tour 2026, mit Schizophrenia und Sarcator als Supports.

Lyrics:
The city is burning
So begins the skeletal show
Dead on the ground, half-eaten by vultures
Writhe to the perverted piper’s song
The fever is rising
So choke on the breath of the beast
Headlong into the apocalypse death trip
Wading through carrion seas
Blood-stained granite walls
Front row and ravenous for the decline and the…
Fall and the failure
The wind blows with silent disease
Hellhounds are breathing right down our necks
We can’t see the forest now for the trees
Lies again reigning
Broken, we wait for the drought
Look to the sky, cupped hands beg for mercy
But there’s no way out
Suffer the famine alone, still we miss the feast
Coal black horses all but perishing
A dying world strangled by hands unseen
God bless this wretched place with Mortercheyn
Welcome to the void
Mortercheyn
Fucked be thy kingdom
Eaten from the inside
Festering wisdom
Fucked be mankind
Mortercheyn
