"Goatkraft & Granite" Europe / UK - Tour 2026
Crowned "Scotland’s King of the arcane mosh" by Metal Hammer magazine, Hellripper aims to invoke the quintessential "black ‘n’ roll" sound, mixing influences from classic 80’s black metal records with a more modern edge. Heavily inspired by witchcraft and the supernatural, Hellripper is also deeply rooted in its Scottish origins, using the landscape, legends and historical events as a backdrop for its lyrics and imagery. Hellripper is fast, loud and uncompromising. All hail the goat!
Schizophrenia have crafted a pure Deathrash diamond on which the band is displaying everything that Extreme Metal has made so legendary over the past decades! On top of the uncompromising ferocity and groove of the ‘Voices' EP, their debut full-length "Recollections Of The Insane" is going even further in every aspect, sometimes even flirting with some melodic Death/Black Metal influences! Morbid Angel, Demolition Hammer, Slayer, early Sepultura, Dissection, Death, At The Gates, Obituary, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence...if any of these bands already gets you going, then imagine a blend of all those bands combined with Schizophrenia's unique and fresh interpretation of Extreme Metal!
The Swedish Black/Thrash Metal four-piece Sarcator was formed in 2018. In 2019, when they were in the age span of 14-20 years old, they released their first demo cassette "Visions of Purgatory" via the American label Redefining Darkness Records. The year after that, their death-thrashing self-titled debut album was released by the same label and it got nominated for the best Rock/Metal in a swedish music award known as P3 Guld. Second full-length album "Alkahest" had a more experimental approach to it, where they included influences from dark rock music, post-punk and other genres of music to their sound. It was released in 2022 via Black Lion Records. In the winter of 2023, the band entered the studio to record their third full-length album, which was the last thing that former guitarist Emil Eriksson contributed on.
