Hellripper release new song ‘The Affair Of The Poisons’

HELLRIPPER have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Affair Of The Poisons, is the title track from the Scottish blackened speed metal band’s upcoming new album, The Affair Of The Poisons, which is scheduled to be released in October.

Speaking about the new song, band mastermind James McBain says, “the song takes inspiration from a series of events that occurred in 17th Century France. Possession, witchcraft, child sacrifice & poisonings were at the heart of a large-scale investigation conducted during the reign of the Sun King (Louis XIV) after an extensive plot was unearthed within the court of Versailles, targeting members of the aristocracy and the King himself in order to gain power and influence; the scandal exploded when it was revealed that the royal favourite herself was partaking in black masses and had allegedly poisoned a younger rival to win back the King’s favour.”

The Affair Of The Poisons is set for release on October 9th via Peaceville Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
