Hellripper is:
James McBain - All instruments & Vocals... HE IS TOO TALENTED... It's not fair! If you haven't listened to the Nuckelavee, go listen to it right now!
"You will bang your head, you will slop beer everywhere, you will thrash like a maniac - Hellripper fucking rule. - Kerrang!
"Scotland's King of the Arcane Mosh" - Metal Hammer
"[Coagulating Darkness] feels as much a homage as it does an original creation... which, given the backwards-facing tendencies of black, speed, and thrash metal, means he's nailed it." - Noisey
"McBain's musicianship is ragged and brilliant." - The WIRE
