Hellripper, the Scottish blackened thrash metal sensation, has big plans for 2025. Following the success of their 2023 album *Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags*, the band is set to release a new album early next year, marking yet another milestone in their growing discography. Known for their ferocious riffs and darkly historical themes, Hellripper’s latest project has been highly anticipated by fans worldwide.
In addition to the album release, Hellripper will be extensively touring through 2025, adding new dates to their already packed schedule. Their tour will take them across both Europe and North America, bringing their energetic live performances to major metal festivals and venues. Stops include Houston’s Hell’s Heroes festival in March, Oslo’s Orgivm Satanicvm in January, and Germany’s Metal Diver Festival, promising fans an intense mix of their classic and new material. The tour will also see them performing alongside notable bands like Mortuary Drape, Sodom, and Rotting Christ, making it a must-see lineup for extreme metal fans.
As with their previous records, Hellripper’s mastermind, James McBain, is expected to infuse this new album with themes from Scottish folklore, mixing relentless speed metal elements with historical and mythological references. Fans can expect the upcoming release to expand on the band’s established aesthetic of dark, high-octane metal, continuing to showcase McBain’s talent for blending aggressive soundscapes with atmospheric storytelling.
For those looking to catch Hellripper live, ticket details and dates are available on their official site, with select presales already open. Fans are advised to secure tickets early, as the band’s shows often sell out due to their dedicated following and the unique appeal of their intense performances.
