 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!
