Bloodstock Festival 2024 – Thursday. In comparison to what has gone before them, Scotland’s Hellripper is a real slap to the head. Blackened Speed Metal might not be to everyone’s taste, but the healthy crowd is intent on absorbing every thrash-soaked note.
Bloodstock Festival 2024
Catton Park, Derbyshire – Thursday 8 August 2024
Hellripper
It’s a blistering set drawn from all three albums, with main man James McBain constantly cajoling the pit to get bigger, go faster, and with more intensity.
The man ends the set crowd-surfing whilst still ripping out a solo on his guitar.
For those that know them, this is another step on a journey now a decade old.
For those that do not, it is the entry to a discography of a band who are impressing every time.
Bloodstock 2024 will be held over the long weekend of 8-11 August 2024. MetalTalk’s Paul Hutchings, Adrian Stonley, Paul Monkhouse and Keith Conlin will be reporting from Catton Park.
