Hellripper to reissue ‘Black Arts & Alchemy’ EP With Bonus Track
As Hellripper marks a decade of existence, Peaceville presents the five track 2019 release of blistering blackened thrash – Black Arts & Alchemy.
Following the release of debut album Coagulating Darkness in 2017 which thrust Hellripper firmly into the gaze of underground metal maniacs, the Black Arts & Alchemy EP brought even more attention and notoriety to this special act upon its release in 2019, as Hellripper’s ascent gained further momentum. With four black/thrash anthems delivered in Hellripper’s uncompromising & unwavering style, and including an additional cover version of Running wild’s Iron Heads, the release demonstrated an ongoing mastery of composition and execution whilst remaining true to the firm heavy metal roots which had brought so much appraisal to date.
