HELLRIPPER - Black Arts & Alchemy (sealed MLP copy) Peaceville Records Re-issue (2024) on limited Orange vinyl. 
 
Scotland's one-man wrecking machine HELLRIPPER returns with Black Arts & Alchemy, a five-track eruption of Blackened Speed Metal that bridges the gutter-scraped filth of the first wave with the precision violence of the modern underground.
 
If your collection already bleeds Venom, Motörhead, Sabbat (UK), and Toxic Holocaust — this slab was forged for your shelf.
 
Frontman James McBain handles every instrument, every scream, and every ounce of hatred on this EP, delivering a 20+ minute ritual that refuses to compromise, clean up, or slow down. This is the sound of a one-man army waging war on mediocrity.
 
Produced with just enough grime to stay dangerous. No overproduced sheen. No triggered drums. Just the analog warmth of a record made by someone who worships at the altar of '80s tape-trading culture. Play it loud on a proper stereo and feel the needle rattle.

Physical pressings of HELLRIPPER material move fast. The earlier EP's and splits are already commanding collector prices in the secondary market. Black Arts & Alchemy is the kind of release that won't sit in the distro bins for long — especially with the bonus track acting as a draw for completionists.  --  Peaceville – VILELP1147
 
Collector's Note: "Iron Heads" is exclusive to the physical vinyl and CD pressings. If you're buying digitally, you're missing the fifth track.
