Hellripper
Hellripper is a one-man Scottish project founeded by James McBain,
with a first EP released in 2015 and progressing enough to attract
the interest of
Peaceville
for the most recent two albums,
2020's
The Affair Of The Roses and
2023's
Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags.
The style here is breakneck-speed blackened thrash, with hints of
early
Slayer
and
Venom
but with a bit more black metal influence (vocals in particular) in feel
and with a more modern edge, somewhat in the same ballpark as, say,
Bütcher.
It's not a terribly original formula, but McBain makes the most of it,
delivering increasingly developed tracks yet not straying from the basics.
It's becoming cliche to say "this is impressive for a one-man band",
but in fact it's quite a feat to put out music like this in a solo setting.
