Hellripper - "Vampire's Grave"

How about some killer Scottish black speed metal to help get you through the week? This one was supposed to go right into the middle of my October Countdown To Halloween, but it got pushed for all that other stuff that I kept posting.

So here it is now. Dig that illustration! All hail Hellripper!

  

Midnight - "Evil Like A Knife"

So tonight's plan to go to the Blackout Cookout 11 in Youngstown, Ohio fell through, and I still have yet to catch Cleveland black/speed metal band Midnight live. They are still at the top of my list and come hell or high water, I WILL see them someday.

In the meantime, I'll just leave this quick power punch to the face for all to enjoy. I've watched this one a hundred times and it still totally rips...

 

Hellripper - "Coagulating Darkness"

I'm heading out for a few days to blow stuff up and celebrate all things America. And of course, I need the perfect soundtrack for the weekend's madness, so...

From the Hellripper Bandcamp page:

Hellripper is a one-man black/speed metal band based in Aberdeen, Scotland.

All this one from one man!?!? Good enough for me! Everyone have an excellent Fourth of July and don't blow off anything important!
