FROM HELLRIPPER:
Pleased to say that the title track of the upcoming album, 'Coronach' is out now! Check out the amazing artwork by Ikosidio!
A
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’s 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.
You
can hear the track on Bandcamp, or you can stream it elsewhere, or
watch the lyric video on YouTube! Let me know what you think.
And
on another note - thank you all so much for the pre-orders so far! I'm
running low on most of the LP variants/CDs and cassettes. It really
means a lot!
