Scotland’s blackened thrash powerhouse Hellripper is heading to North America this autumn for an extensive run supporting Havok. The tour kicks off October 21 in Salt Lake City, UT, and tears across the continent before wrapping November 20 in Denver, CO, with the full itinerary below.

The trek supports Hellripper’s critically acclaimed latest album, Coronach, released worldwide on March 27, 2026 via Century Media Records — the band’s debut for the label. The record earned enthusiastic reviews across the metal press, including a 10/10 from Distorted Sound, a 4/5 from Kerrang!, and an 8/10 from Metal Hammer, with critics praising its blend of black metal, thrash, and speed metal fury steeped in Scottish history and atmosphere.

The brainchild of guitarist, vocalist, and solitary force James McBain, Hellripper has been carving a path through the metal underground since 2014, fusing the venom of black metal classics with punk-fueled thrash and Motörhead-style rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Building on breakthroughs like 2023’s Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags, Coronach pushes McBain’s Scottish-history-soaked vision to new heights across eight tracks. The album was recorded and mixed by McBain at Coronach Studios in Scotland, mastered by Damien Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studios in the USA, and features cover artwork by Adam Burke / Nightjar Illustration.
