Hellripper drops covers EP “Who the Fuck is Hellripper?”
Author Teemu Hakala - 20.10.2026
Scottish black/speed metal project Hellripper releases “Who the Fuck is Hellripper?”, a three-track covers EP out today via Century Media Records. The release lands while sole member James McBain continues to promote “Coronach”, his latest studio album from earlier this year.
Two of the three tracks cover Seattle speed metal punks Zeke: “Let’s Get Drugs” and “Mainline”. The third, “If You Found This It’s Probably Too Late”, reimagines an Arctic Monkeys B-side through a blackened metal lens. As with all Hellripper releases, McBain handles every instrument and all vocals himself.
The EP streams now on all major platforms and Bandcamp.
“Who the Fuck is Hellripper?” tracklist:
Let’s Get Drugs (Zeke)
Mainline (Zeke)
If You Found This It’s Probably Too Late (Arctic Monkeys)
