Our Take
Our Take
Hellripper's latest album, "Black Arts & Alchemy," is a headbanging rollercoaster of satanic delight. With tracks like "Vampire's Grave" and "Spectral War," this Scottish one-man band proves that blackened thrash metal is alive and well. Frontman James McBain's vocals are like a banshee on a sugar high, soaring over blistering riffs and breakneck drumming.
From the moment the opening track, "All Hail the Goat," kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. McBain's guitar work is lightning fast, his solos shredding through the speakers like a sonic chainsaw. The production is raw and gritty, giving the album a truly old-school feel.
But don't be fooled by the sheer speed and aggression of the music – there's plenty of melody and groove to be found here. Tracks like "Conduit Closing" and "Beyond the Convent Walls" show that Hellripper isn't afraid to explore different textures and dynamics.
Overall, "Black Arts & Alchemy" is a hell of a good time. It's loud, fast, and unapologetically evil – everything you want from a blackened thrash metal album. So grab your pentagram necklace, crack open a cold beer, and crank up the volume – Hellripper is here to melt your face off.
