Bagpipes? Nah. This is Scotland going full-speed into the abyss. ๐ด๐ฅ๐ค
Alright buttโฆ forget everything you think you know about Scottish music for a minute. This ainโt folk tunes and cosy pubs โ this is pure blackened speed metal chaos blasted at ridiculous velocity. ๐ค๐จ
Hellripper returns with Coronach, and itโs an absolute ripper (had to be said). Fast, filthy, and dripping with evil intent, this album feels like being chased through the Highlands by something very angryโฆ and very loud. ๐๐ฉ๏ธ
No filler. No brakes. Just unrelenting sonic violence.
๐ง THE SOUND โ BLACK METAL MEETS SPEED FREAK MADNESS
This thing doesnโt walkโฆ it sprints straight into hell. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ
- ๐ธ Riffs: Razor-sharp tremolo madness with punky bite
- ๐ฅ Drums: Blastbeats for days โ relentless and unforgiving
- ๐ค Vocals: Snarling, venomous, straight from the depths
- ๐ Vibe: Blackened chaos with a speed metal backbone
Itโs dirty. Itโs fast. Itโs gloriously unhinged.

โ๏ธ โThe Nuckelaveeโ
Opens like a demon breaking through the door. Fast, chaotic, and instantly addictive.
๐ โAll Hail the Goatโ
Catchy in the most evil way possible. Youโll be shouting along before you even realise it.
๐ฅ โCoronachโ
Title track brings a darker, more atmospheric edge โ still fast, but with a haunting twist.
๐ฃ โBastard of Hadesโ
Absolute carnage. No survivors. Pitโs going nuclear for this one.
๐ค RIFF & VOCAL SPOTLIGHT โ JAMES MCPHERSON UNLEASHED
Mastermind James McBain (aka Hellripper himself) is a one-man wrecking crew here. ๐๐ฅ
From blistering riffs to snarling vocals, itโs all delivered with precision, chaos, and just the right amount of madness. You can tell this isnโt just noise โ itโs crafted chaos.
