Hellripper: firma con Century Media Records
Comunicato stampa
ALL HAIL THE GOAT!!!
Century Media Records è lieta di annunciare l’ingresso in roster di HELLRIPPER! Disponibile un piccolo assaggio di nuova musica:
Il commento del mastermind James McBain:
“Sono molto contento di annunciare che HELLRIPPER sta lavorando con Century Media Records! È un’etichetta che seguo da molto tempo e sono onorato di entrare a far parte di una così grande eredità. Condividiamo una visione comune per il futuro della band e insieme ci ripromettiamo di diffondere il verbo dei Goat Kvlt! Sono entusiasta di intraprendere questo nuovo capitolo del viaggio della band e non vedo l’ora di condividerlo con tutti voi! All Hail the Goat!”
Il commento dell’A&R di Century Media Records, Mike Gitter:
“Come un caprone arrabbiato, con la barba intrisa di sangue, James McBain è una forza ferina che riunisce i migliori elementi del metal, del black metal, del crust, del d-beat punk e dello speed metal. La malvagità sonora di James non conosce confini e non ha paura di spingersi all’estremo. Century Media è orgogliosa di essere un rifugio alla Goat Horde!”.
The brainchild of guitarist/vocalist/solitary force, James McBain, HELLRIPPER has been running like a denim-vested, backpatch-encrusted William Wallace, bravehearting his way through metal’s bloodiest battlefields since first coagulating his personal darkness in 2014. Taking armaments from Kill ‘Em All era Hetfield and Welcome to Hell era Mantas, McBain has immersed his fascination with darkness and speed with Scottish history and come with bloody masterpieces like 2023’s Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags that Metal Injection stated: “Bursts with growth and a mature exploration of darkness and eeriness while maintaining that original high-octane burning”.
McBain is presently sharpening his blades and casting new spells that will transmogrify into HELLRIPPER’s Century Media debut, due around the vernal equinox of 2026. In the meantime, McBain and his trusted roundtable of sonic knights have taken to battle on European soil, leaving the likes of Norway’s Beyond the Gates, Czech’s Brutal Assault and Germany’s Summer Breeze bloodied and staggering in their wake. In March 2025, HELLRIPPER played their first U.S. show at Houston’s Hell’s Heroes festival to a similarly stunned crowd of fans who were left beaten, bruised and beer-soaked by a crowd-swimming McBain by the set’s epic conclusion.
