Scottish black metal one-man force Hellripper shreds new single “Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite)”

Scottish black/speed metal one‑man powerhouse Hellripper has returned with a ferocious new single titled “Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite)”. The track sees frontman James McBain push his brutal blackened speed‑metal vision even further. Delivering a relentless barrage of high‑velocity riffing and razor‑sharp solos.

“Kinchyle” evokes both the crushing weight of granite and the occult fury the band is known for. It’s a blistering anthem of chaos, steeped in myth and aggression. It also showcases McBain’s signature blend of black metal fury and thrash energy.

The title itself draws from Scottish lore and geography, hinting at the track’s deeper ties to the band’s homeland. It also continues with the usual mix of sinister themes, goat-worshipping iconography, and unstoppable speed.

This single also marks a new chapter for Hellripper, as the project has now signed with Century Media Records. According to McBain, the partnership reflects a shared vision for the band’s future.

Formed in Aberdeen in 2014, the band has become one of the most celebrated names in the modern blackened speed metal scene. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
