THE 2017 DEBUT STUDIO ALBUM OF CULT BLACK THRASH/SPEED METAL FROM THE QUICKLY RISING UK TITAN - PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD

Inspired by the likes of old-school legends including Venom, Kreator, Sabbat [JPN] & Metallica, James McBain formed Hellripper in 2014 & with the release of the debut EP 'The Manifestation of Evil' shortly after, the Scottish band was already making a very clear statement of hellish destruction with an electrifying brand of blackened thrash. Building on the momentum of the debut EP with a string of split releases, the debut album 'Coagulating Darkness' was released in 2017 to
media acclaim, with the UK's Metal Hammer hailing Hellripper as "Scotland's King of the arcane mosh" & the band receiving attention throughout Europe & the US. This was followed by the EP - 'Black Arts & Alchemy', before an eventual deal was inked with Peaceville, resulting in 2020's trailblazing 'The Affair Of The Poisons'.For a debut album, 'Coagulating Darkness' demonstrated a startling maturity & clear sense of direction throughout its eight- track duration, with McBain single- handedly crafting & recording a set of blistering, timeless metal anthems in a relentless high-speed attack of ferocious rifng & masterful soloing.

The cover artwork for 'Coagulating Darkness' appears courtesy of Skadvaldur, known for his work on 'The Affair Of The Poisons'.

This edition of 'Coagulating Darkness' is presented on mid- price CD format, including a booklet featuring lyrics.
