Hellripper releases Arctic Monkeys cover and announces North American tour

Scottish blackened thrash artist Hellripper has digitally released a cover of the Arctic Monkeys B-side ‘If You Found This It’s Probably Too Late’. The track is part of the digital EP ‘Who the Fuck is Hellripper?’, which also includes two covers of songs by the Seattle speed metal punk band Zeke: ‘Let’s Get Drugs’ and ‘Mainline’.

James McBain, the band’s guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, stated that the Arctic Monkeys cover was intended to be unexpected, noting that the band has influenced his approach to songwriting and production.

The release comes as Hellripper promotes their fourth studio album, ‘Coronach’, released via Century Media Records. The artist is also preparing for a first-ever North American tour scheduled for late October and November, featuring dates across various cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlanta, and New York.
