FROM HELLRIPPER: 

 

I'm pleased to finally share some details on the upcoming Hellripper album ‘Coronach’, along with the release of a new track, “Hunderprest”.

The album will contain 8 tracks and will be released on CD/vinyl/cassette/digital formats by Century Media Records on March 27th 2026.

‘Coronach’ is a personal exploration of Scottish Culture — its music, literature, history & folklore.

From Pictish mysteries to Victorian Gothic literature, sinister lore, classic Scottish poetry and modern urban tales, the album tells stories of the country throughout the ages.

Sonically inspired by anything and everything from Venom and Mercyful Fate, to Watain and Opeth, to Manic Street Preachers, film scores and traditional Scottish music, the album is a good representation of myself all wrapped up in a nice speed metal package!

Quite a bit of experimentation went into this album, and I wanted each track to contain something that I had never done previously. Whether it be the inclusion of a different instrument, or how a song begins, I aimed to offer some element of surprise in each track.

The album, named after the vocal lament traditionally sung at funerals in the Scottish Highlands,encompasses everything the band is about: mixing modern and old-school influences, past and present storytelling, the dark side of Scottish history and my personal interpretation of it.

As always, the writing and recording took place in my home studio, with various other people putting their stamp on a few of the tracks. The album was mixed by myself, and was mastered by Damian Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studios and the artwork was done by Adam Burke (Nightjar Illustration).

Fàilte gu Alba - Welcome to Scotland!

I really appreciate the support from everyone that has allowed the band to get to this point, and I hope you enjoy the new track!
