🐐HELLRIPPER Unleashes Music Video for New Single, “Kinchyle (Goatkraft And Granite)," Announces EU Headliner🐐
Recently signed to Century Media Records worldwide, Scotland's ibex-obsessed blackened thrash bastard of Hades, otherwise known as HELLRIPPER, returns with a brand-new single! “Kinchyle (Goatkraft And Granite)!" The vicious new track can be found along with a music video, which was directed by David Gregory, at THIS LOCATION.
HELLRIPPER mastermind James McBain, comments:
"'Kinchyle' is the McBain clan’s war cry and a fitting first glimpse at the upcoming album.
"Lyrically, the track was inspired by my experience growing up in the North-East of Scotland in Aberdeen (the Granite City), and reflects on what it’s like to feel trapped in a certain environment. I wanted to show a side of Scotland that is not necessarily the magical 'postcard' that a lot of people picture when thinking of the country.
"Musically, the track is very 'Hellripper-sounding,' and is the most 'rocking' song that I’ve written in quite a while, though there are a few new elements in there that I had fun experimenting with. The track was influenced by the likes of Tank, Running Wild and Motörhead, as well as bands such as Opeth and Witherscape.
"All in all, a very personal song both in terms of lyrics and musical influences. Hope you enjoy it... All Hail the Goat!"
In addition, Hellripper will be embarking on a European headliner with support from Schizophrenia and Sarcator, which will introduce the band’s upcoming studio album release (More details about that soon…!). The full itinerary can be found below while tickets can be found HERE.
