Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags
THE THIRD ALBUM OF HIGH OCTANE MELODIC BLACK/SPEED METAL COMBINED WITH
SPRAWLING, FOLKLORE-INFUSED EPICS. NOW ON MID-PRICE CD WITH BONUS TRACK.
Inspired by the likes of old-school legends including Venom, Kreator, Sabbat [JPN] & Metallica, James McBain formed Hellripper in 2014, showcasing an electrifying brand of blackened thrash. Building on the already impressive foundations laid by their early EP & split releases, the first full-length album, âCoagulating Darknessâ, was released in 2017 to media acclaim, with the UKâs Metal Hammer hailing Hellripper as âScotland's King of the arcane moshâ & the band receiving notable attention throughout Europe & the US. This was followed by the âBlack Arts & Alchemyâ EP, before an eventual deal was inked with Peaceville Records, resulting in the masterful âThe Affair Of The Poisonsâ, further propelling the band to the forefront of the UK metal scene.
âWarlocks Grim & Withered Hagsâ - Hellripperâs third studio album â was released in 2023 & established a new threshold of excellence, resulting in James McBainâs most personal & diverse work to date. With a greatly expanded scope to the tracks, incorporating more epic & melodic blackened anthems alongside the high-speed metal attack & blistering solos, âWarlocks Grim & Withered Hagsâ marked a new highpoint for the band &
subsequently became a breakthrough release as part of Hellripperâs ascension. Inspired by the landscapes & legends of the Scottish highlands, McBain explored the darker side of Scottish history & folklore - the title itself taken from a line in the Robert Burns poem, âAddress to the Deilâ - as well as including references to clan culture (including his own) throughout the album. For example, one of the tracks (âThe Cursed Carrion Crownâ) was based on the legend of âSawney Beanâ & the Bean Clan (a spelling variation of âMcBain'') & tells the story of a family of cannibals that lived in a cave & committed various gruesome acts.
The writing & recording process was carried out by James McBain himself, with a few guests offering
contributions in the form of additional vocals & instrumental parts. With recording taking place between March 2021 & June 2022, the album was also mixed by McBain & mastered by Damian Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studios. The suitably sinister & ominous artwork appears courtesy of Adam Burke.
