HELLRIPPER have released a brand new lyric video for their latest single, Coronach!
The track comes from the Scottish ibex‑worshipping blackened thrash outfit’s upcoming fourth studio album Coronach, which is set to be released on March 27th, 2026 via Century Media Records.
Speaking about the title track, mastermind James McBain shares, “a coronach is a vocal lament traditionally performed at funerals in the Scottish highlands. Intertwined with my own words is the poem of the same name by Sir Walter Scott, which served as an inspiration for this story: the funeral of an ambivalent and mysterious figure, revered by his community for his heroic deeds but whose life hid many dark secrets. As well as lyrically, the track is also a musical experiment for me; it was primarily influenced by late 80’s thrash metal along with bands like BATHORY, GALLOWBRAID and ATLANTEAN KODEX. A dash of post-punk, a fair amount of IRON MAIDEN-style guitar harmonies, some classical references and the haunting wail of the bagpipes fading in the distance: this song feels like the perfect farewell to the album.”
