With song titles like “Nuclear Hell,” “Nekroslut,” “Nunfucking Armageddon,” “Hexxennacht,” and the recent “Goat Vomit Nightmare,” Hellripper is unlikely to be invited to perform at the annual Christian Youth Day. Not that Scottish flesh ripper James McBain is waiting for that, anyway. His incredible one-man band Hellripper prefers to play at utterly depraved places like HELLDORADO, where he will corrupt the last remaining good-natured souls on Earth with his lightning-fast and irresistibly catchy speed/black/thrash metal in the vein of old Metallica, Exodus, Kreator, Slayer, and Venom. Hold on a second: a one-man band?!? Absolutely. James writes his hellish music and lyrics (largely based on dark Scottish folklore, horror, occultism, and total mayhem in general) all by himself and plays all the instruments on his studio albums (live, of course, he is joined by other band members). And it sounds fantastic; just listen to the magnificent “The Nuckelavee.” Hellripper is trve kvlt!
