HELLRIPPER Unleashes Music Video for Sinister New Single ‘Mortercheyn’

Scotland’s ibex-obsessed blackened thrash bastard of Hades, otherwise known as HELLRIPPER, is now delivering yet another crushing blow from his forthcoming opus! The ominous new single, “Mortercheyn,” can be found along with a sunning music video that was video produced, directed and edited by David Gregory at THIS LOCATION.

“Mortercheyn” is taken from HELLRIPPER’s upcoming fourth studio album, ‘Coronach,’ which will be released worldwide on March 27, 2026 via Century Media Records, making it his debut to the label! ‘Coronach’ can be pre-ordered HERE.

Hellripper mastermind, guitarist/vocalist and songwriter James McBain comments, “Much like the previously released ‘Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite),’ the lyrics on this track come from a more personal place. The title itself is a little nod to a track on the previous album, ‘The Nuckelavee,’ and mortercheyn is said to be the disease spread by the creature in its wake. It is a contagious and lethal sickness that primarily affects horses, and is used in the song to represent the decay and downfall of the world.

“Musically, ‘Mortercheyn’ is a crust track at its core, drenched in a sinister atmosphere that lies between the black metal vibe of Watain and the raw aggression of bands like Martyrdöd and Skitsystem. Hints of Whiplash and Agent Steel are clearly evident in the guitar work and are paired with some uncomfortable ambience inspired by the likes of Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares. On the surface, it may feel like one of the less ‘complex’ songs on the album, but I think there’s quite a lot going on throughout”.

In addition, Hellripper has recently announced a string of support shows for thrash metal legend Testament in Spain and France. In addition, Hellripper will next embark on European headline tour alongside Schizophrenia and Sarcator to promote ‘Coronach’ and has also revealed a number of festival appearances and two performances in Mexico. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets can be found HERE.

The brainchild of guitarist/vocalist/solitary force, James McBain, Hellripper has been running like a denim-vested, backpatch-encrusted William Wallace, bravehearting his way through metal’s bloodiest battlefields since first coagulating his personal darkness in 2014. Taking armaments from “Kill ‘Em All” era Hetfield and “Welcome to Hell” era Mantas, McBain has immersed his fascination with darkness and speed with Scottish history and come with bloody masterpieces like 2023’s “Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags” that Metal Injection stated: “Bursts with growth and a mature exploration of darkness and eeriness while maintaining that original high-octane burning”. McBain is presently sharpening his blades and casting new spells that will transmogrify into Hellripper’s Century Media debut “Coronach”.

Rock Legend JOHN CORABI Unveil New Video Single ‘That Memory’ from Upcoming Album

Today, rock icon JOHN CORABI is pleased to unveil his new single “That Memory,” taken from his upcoming debut full-length solo album ‘New Day,’ set for release on April 24, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. The new track arrives alongside an official music video, available to view below. 

On “That Memory,” JOHN reflects:

“‘That Memory’ is a great tune that my good pal Charlie Starr sent me a rough idea on. I played it for Marti Frederiksen (my producer) and he loved it. We changed the key to fit my voice and recorded it!! It’s a great tune, and without being too emasculated…It’s my wife’s favorite from the record!!!! Thank you Charlie Starr!!!!”

‘New Day’ marks JOHN CORABI’s first full-length solo album of original material. Recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025 and produced by multi-platinum songwriter and producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Buckcherry), the album fuses classic ’70s rock, soul, and blues influences into a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

The record features the previously released singles “Così Bella (So Beautiful)” (2021) and “Your Own Worst Enemy” (2022), now presented as part of a rich collection of tracks that spotlight his commanding vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and masterful songwriting. Throughout the album, CORABI is joined by Marti Frederiksen, who adds backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion; Evan Frederiksen on drums, bass, B3 organ, electric guitar, mandolin, and programming; Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses) on lead guitar; Paul Taylor (Winger, Steve Perry) contributing piano, organ, and clavinet, as well as Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) offering guitar solos. Together, they create an organic, instrument-driven sound built on real performances, melodic interplay, and soulful energy.

With a European tour planned for February/March 2026 and additional shows running through late spring and summer, CORABI is poised to bring this new music directly to fans, delivering both powerful live energy and genuine emotional resonance.

More than just a solo debut, ‘New Day’ serves as CORABI’s personal testament to rock’s enduring spirit—an exploration of melody, soul, and authenticity, played with passion and conviction at every turn.

JOHN shares:

“I’m very excited for everybody to hear this new collection of songs! I wanted to put together an album of eclectic, organic songs that are reminiscent of the music I grew up listening to, and I truly believe the mission was accomplished! This is a 60’s-70’s sounding classic rock and roll record…Turn it up, and enjoy!!!”

IKON Box Set Reissues Four Of Goth’s Greatest Albums

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 11, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: IKON Box, Resonance - An Anthology 1998-2009. Leave a comment

Four of the most influential Goth albums of the late 1990s/early 2000s  are set for reissue in a new box set, as IKON unveil the aptly-titled Resonance – An Anthology 1998-2009.

The second in the Australian band’s series of career-spanning box sets, the set begins with their third album. This Quiet Earth (1998) was written, says frontman Chris McCarter, as a reaction to “the constant comparison to Joy Division” that the band had hitherto received. “l wanted to move away from guitar based tracks, he continues, and “as soon as ‘Subversion’, was written, l knew it had to be the first single from the album.”

A Top 5 hit in the German alternative charts (a second single, “Ghost In My Head,” quicky followed it) “Subversion” also helped This Quiet Earth, too, into the upper echelons of those charts.  The album’s unexpected popularity also prompted McCarter to put together a new live band, and begin work, too, on a new album.

“I was always fascinated with Egypt from a young age and decided on the title On the Edge of Forever,” says McCarter, recalling how new songs entered the band’s live repertoire long before recording commenced – which in turn gave the album an electrifying cohesion and a surprising outlook. “Going back to the band format, it was clear that doing a rock album was the right path to follow, after going down the electronic route.”

Released in 2001, In The Edge of Forever spun off three singles, “The Shallow Sea,” “Blue Snow Red Rain” and “Afterlife,” and is often described as the band’s finest release yet. It was not, however, to retain that title for long.

Buoyed, again, by three singles, “Psychic Vampire,” “Rome” and “Without Shadows,” 2005’s Destroying The World To Save It was heavily flavored by McCarter’s vision of the ways in which the world had changed post 9/11. “My experience from all the [touring], seeing peoples’ true faces, was something I was able to express in the songwriting.

“l had really developed my singing and a new confidence there. I also got to see first hand the fans all over Europe and knew the direction I wanted to go in.”  In concert, “Psychic Vampire’” was to remain Ikon’s closing number for the next 18 years!

The final album in this collection, 2009’s Love, Hate & Sorrow, continued in the same vein as its predecessor – indeed, McCarter admits he started recording it in 2006, intending an immediate follow-up.  “However, the creativity was flowing so well, l kept recording through out that year. l was trying to make the perfect album, or what was perfect to me.”

Two singles teased the album, “A Line on a Dark Day,” “which continued the 9/11 theme of Destroying The World To Save It,” and “Amongst The Runes.” Two further singles followed the album’s eventual release, “Torn Apart” and “Driftwood,” and McCarter happily recalls the reviews which described the CD as “ the most complete IKON album to date.”

Reflecting upon this entire period, McCarter acknowledges, “l grew so much as a person. Getting to travel around the world, meeting fans first hand, was inspiring in continuing on with writing and recording for so long. I also got to be able to do everything the way l wanted to, which a lot of artists aren’t able to do. I’m so happy with the way my writing had progressed and the things we were able to achieve, with different people coming in for parts of the journey on the way.”

He is proud, too, of Resonance – An Anthology 1998-2009. The box set, he continues, “shows just how much the band has grown from that period and how different each release is. I do feel there is a constant redline though, connecting them as I constantly explore and express the emotions and experiences in life, through the lens of the band IKON!”

Resonance – An Anthology 1998-2009 is released on March 13. That same day also sees the first US and European vinyl pressing of This Quiet Earth.

Not content to merely revisit the past. though, McCarter is also simultaneously deploying a powerful new EP, Marian, mapping out the ways in which he has transformed his past muse into a forward-looking vision. The EP all acts as a sort of tribute to Wayne Hussey (who Chris says is “a huge influence on my life”); featuring one Sisters Of Mercy track (“Marian”) and one Mission track (“Stay With Me”) as well as two new interpretations of IKON classics.

NINE TREASURES will be touring in support of their Seeking The Absolute full-length, released in December via Metal Blade Records.

Formed by vocalist/guitarist Askhan in 2010 in the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia in China, NINE TREASURES delivers a unique combination of heavy metal and traditional Mongolian instrumentation, utilizing both conventional vocals and Mongolian throat singing. Guitars, bass, and drums collide with indigenous string instruments including the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), the tovshuur, and the balalaika, resulting in a sonic kaleidoscope that follows no set template. NINE TREASURES moves easily from a straight-up headbanging style to the more atmospheric progressive style. Guitar-wise, Askhan infuses a lot of Mongolian playing techniques and songwriting logic into his playing and is excited for the “fresh blood” it adds to the band’s sound. The quintet’s varied approaches and universal messaging will allow them to tour with any musically progressive band, be it Amon Amarth or Tool.

Playing 100-plus festival shows and headlining gigs per year in Asia, to audiences of up to 50,000, and with four albums to their name, NINE TREASURES are at the top of their proverbial game and ready to conquer the Western world. Seeking The Absolute is their first record for Metal Blade, and first LP to have a worldwide release.

Louder Sound crowned Seeking The Absolute, “one of the most unique and effortlessly enjoyable albums of 2025.” Last Rites concurred noting, “if you pride yourself on being an adventurous music devourer with a particular predilection for all things progressive folk metal, do yourself the considerable favor of checking out NINE TREASURES and the very rewarding, notably spirited Seeking The Absolute.” Added Angry Metal Guy, “NINE TREASURES was always good, but Seeking The Absolute sounds like what the band was always meant to be. Like Pantera with Cowboys From Hell, NINE TREASURES exudes confidence in their transformation, crafting a fun, approachable chunk of metal without compromise to their new vision.”

THE ETERNAL Release New Lyric Video for ‘Casting Down Shadows’

Following the release of their latest, much-acclaimed EP Celestial in January via Reigning Phoenix Music, Australian-Finnish dark metal outfit THE ETERNAL return with new visuals. Today, the band presents an official lyric video for the haunting track “Casting Down Shadows”.

Driven by melancholic melodies, brooding atmosphere, and the band’s signature blend of doom, gothic, and melodic metal, the song unfolds as a slow-burning and emotionally charged journey. The track moves between haunting passages and powerful crescendos, capturing the reflective and cinematic mood that defines Celestial.

Speaking about the song’s lyrical themes, frontman Mark Kelson explains:

“The lyrics of ‘Casting Down Shadows’ evoke a journey through time, turmoil, and self-discovery, framed by imagery of storms, moons, and barren lands. They portray a struggle with loss, broken ties, and hidden desires, yet also a determination to face the tempest and carve a path forward despite fear. The recurring motif of ‘casting down shadows’ suggests confronting darkness while seeking truth and illumination, with the promise of renewal and return echoing throughout. Ultimately, the song captures the tension between despair and resilience, presenting an endless cycle of falling into shadow yet rising again to continue the search for meaning and fire.”

With the new lyric video, THE ETERNAL further highlight the emotional depth and introspective themes that run throughout Celestial, offering fans another way to experience one of the EP’s most evocative tracks. Watch the clip now streaming here:

Following the success of their 2024 album “Skinwalker”, the band’s new EP Celestial sees THE ETERNAL continue their signature fusion of melancholic atmospheres, doom-laden heaviness, and progressive depth. The progressive gothic metal collective once again delivers an emotive and cinematic journey through sound and spirit, unafraid to embrace both beauty and bleakness while charting new creative horizons.

With Mark Kelson (vocals/guitars) and Richie Poate (guitars) in Melbourne, joined by Niclas Etelävuori (bass, ex-Amorphis/Flat Earth) and Jan Rechberger (drums, Amorphis) in Helsinki, THE ETERNAL have solidified themselves as a truly international collaboration. Their music resonates with fans of acts such as Katatonia, Swallow the Sun, and Anathema – dark yet luminous, heavy yet emotionally transcendent!

Celestial  is available digitally and as a limited, eco-friendly recycled vinyl LP edition (exclusively available through the band’s official store and the RPM shop). Order your favorite choice of format at this location: https://theeternal.rpm.link/celestialPR 

“Celestial” Track Listing:
1. Absence Of Light 
2. Celestial Veil
3. It All Ends 
4. Bleeding Into Light  
5. Casting Down Shadows 
6. Everlasting MMXXVI
