Scotland’s relentless blackened thrash force HELLRIPPER has unveiled another taste of its upcoming album “Coronach”, releasing the ferocious new single “Mortercheyn” alongside a striking music video directed and edited by David Gregory.

The track comes from HELLRIPPER’s fourth studio album, “Coronach”, which will arrive worldwide on March 27, 2026 via Century Media Records – marking the project’s debut on the legendary metal label.

James McBain, the mastermind behind HELLRIPPER explained about the new single:

Much like the previously released ‘Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite),’ the lyrics on this track come from a more personal place. The title itself is a little nod to a track on the previous album, ‘The Nuckelavee,’ and mortercheyn is said to be the disease spread by the creature in its wake. Musically, ‘Mortercheyn’ is a crust track at its core, drenched in a sinister atmosphere that lies between the black metal vibe of  WATAIN and the raw aggression of bands like MARTYRDOD and SKITSYSTEM.

HELLRIPPER will be embarking on a European headliner with support from SCHIZOPHRENIA and SARCATOR. Get those dates below and get your tickets here.
