Hellripper

Hellripper is the raucous black speed metal project of Scottish multi-instrumentalist James McBain. Blending the raw ferocity of black metal with the breakneck riffing and tempos of speed and thrash metal, Hellripper channels the spirit of classic '80s extreme metal while injecting a distinctly modern, high-energy edge. The project has built a devoted following in the underground metal scene for its relentless, take-no-prisoners sound.

What began as a solo studio endeavor has grown into a recognized name among fans of old-school inspired extreme metal, with McBain crafting music that pays homage to genre forebears while carving out its own ferocious identity. Hellripper's output is characterized by scorching guitar work, snarling vocals, and an unapologetic embrace of speed and aggression, making it a compelling act for anyone drawn to the darker, faster corners of heavy music.
