  1. Some younger folks on YT brought this one up. I am compelled to toot this out: I love this tune, and have owned/appreciated the whole album for decades.

  2. “Polio swept through #Winnipeg in the early ’50s. Neil had it and I did too. So did my brothers. We all had it at the same time. But Neil was always very focused. It didn’t matter what obstacle was there, he overcame it. I felt the same.

    Neil and I were among a bunch of teenage guys who were learning how to play guitar and starting #bands in Winnipeg. Every Sunday, there was a #RadioShow called Hello Britain, where they’d play all the top hits from #England. It might be #ShaneFenton And The Fentones or Cliff Richard And #TheShadows. Then it was just The Shadows or #TheOutlaws. We copied all this stuff and played it on stage.

    We’d get the bus to the community centre and Neil would be there with #TheSquires. We’d stay there all night and watch them. I was pretty amazed when he started playing the folk clubs on his own. He radically changes his mind and his direction, to the shock of everyone. But then, he’s done this all his life. I used to go the #Riverboat [Coffee House] in #Toronto all the time. I saw #GordonLightfoot, #JoniMitchell and Ramblin’ #JackElliott. It was quite fantastic. I saw Neil many times there, just acoustic. I’d think, ‘Yeah, he can do it. He can be a folk singer.’

    When I left in ’65 to tour the States with #TheGuessWho I sent a note back to Neil, saying, “You gotta get out of town. This is where you really get appreciated.” So he left and went to #ThunderBay, then #FortWilliam, and met #StephenStills. Then – boom – he started #BuffaloSpringfield.”

  3. Hellripper – Coronach Review By Grin Reaper

    Tired? Irritable? Prone to bouts of melancholy that leave you feeling listless and unfocused, particularly as the weather changes? It could be seasonal affective disorder, but these symptoms can also typify a diet deficient in vitamin R(iff). If it’s the latter, Hellripper’s Coronach practically hemorrhages the cure for what ails you, parading pulse-pounding riffs, blistering solos, and enthralling grooves with palliative nonchalance. Unleashing Hellripper’s fourth album in under a decade, architect and sole member James McBain maintains a tried-and-true release schedule and, more importantly, a steady evolution of sophisticated songwriting that’s as compelling as it is emboldening. I won’t mince words—Coronach is an undeniable corker and succeeds as Hellripper’s greatest triumph to date. So run down to your local or digital dealer and grab some Coronach posthaste!

    Expanding on the achievements of Hellripper’s previous albums, Coronach harnesses the charm of earlier releases and injects them with a lethal dose of vitality. Back in 2017, debut Coagulating Darkness bled its influences on its sleeve, from riffs dripping with warp-speed Venom to the guitar lead from “Bastard of Hades” pulled straight from Metallica’s “Hit the Lights.” The Affair of the Poisons shaped Hellripper’s identity with flurries of licks that, while still laced with influences, exuded a welcome dimension of originality. Three years ago, Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags’ introduced knotted, longer-form compositions that pushed out the runtime while augmenting Hellripper’s arsenal of aural ammunition. With Coronach, Hellripper strikes a balance between the lengthier arrangements of Warlocks and the breakneck blackened bangers of yore, amplified by stellar performances throughout.

    Coronach (24-bit HD audio) by Hellripper

    Coronach overflows with electrifying instrumentation, and while McBain supplies most of Hellripper’s sonic ingredients, a few guests further enrich its proceedings. Searing leads and scorching solos set Coronach’s eight tracks aflame, boasting some of the hookiest guitar-playing I’ve heard this year. “Hunderprest” and “Blakk Satanik Fvkkstorm” crackle with flashy fretwork, buoyed by longtime six-string contributor Joseph Quinlan (Desert Heretic). Similarly, “Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite)” rumbles with snappy Motörheadstrong riffs before an acoustic guitar cuts in to transition the song into slinky grooves and heavy half-times. After some interplay, the pace ramps back up to close out on the intro riff. Hellripper has never lacked for earworms, yet Coronach unveils a mature understanding of dynamic songwriting that endows depth and complexity while never sounding forced or unnatural. Besides Quinlan, Jess Townsend contributes violin on “Baobhan Sith (Waltz of the Damned),” while singer Marianne returns to lend her vocals on a few tracks and Antonio Rodriguez reprises the bagpipes on closer “Coronach.” Vacuous’s Max Southall even bestows some percussive flair on “Mortercheyn.” Between himself and the talented musicians he’s assembled, it’s clear that while McBain is comfortable with his supporting cast, he’s determined not to put out the same album twice.

    What impresses me most with Coronach is that McBain manages to broaden Hellripper’s auditory palette without ever losing the band’s core identity. “Hunderprest” and “Coronach” brim with the band’s trademark rippin’ riffs, yet the solos recall southern rock shredding à la Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Outlaws played at one-and-a-half speed. “Sculptor’s Cave,” meanwhile, channels what El Cuervo affectionately dubbed ‘Motörhead on cocaine’ energy during its “Rock ‘n’ Roll”-informed solo. A pervasive punk attitude also shimmers beneath the surface of Coronach, where the unadorned guitar refrains from “Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite),” “Sculptor’s Cave,” and “Mortercheyn” evoke more technical versions of Bad Religion and The Offspring. Tying it all together and allowing the myriad influences to coalesce, the mix ensures this is the best Hellripper has sounded, retaining their raw edge while dialing back the ‘everything louder than everything else’ approach that afflicted past albums—The Affair of the Poisons in particular.

    Doubtlessly, Hellripper has dropped their finest release so far with Coronach, though a few small adjustments could have boosted it to undisputed excellence. “Baobhan Sith (Waltz of the Damned)” runs a tad too long, and although I like “Mortercheyn,” it doesn’t quite live up to the heights of the other tracks. Even so, I unapologetically return to Coronach again and again with no signs of slowing down. Just remember—Coronach must be taken while driving or operating heavy machinery. If lethargy creeps in or your mouth runs dry from a chronic deficit of Vitamin R, just take one to two doses of Coronach (by ear) and wait for Hellripper’s restorative fix to kick in.1

  4. @[email protected] there is "The Outlaws", a black comedy from the BBC about doing community service in Bristol, where one of the characters, Lady Gabriella "Gabby" Penrose-Howe, is an influencer (with issues).

    I had thought her character was a Stephen Merchant darkest satire until I saw it.

    (If you haven't seen it, Christopher Walken is excellent albeit with a haircut that is almost a crime in itself.)

    [Edit: why I couldn't spell BBC I don't know]

  6. Completed the binge-watch of season three of The Outlaws over the last few nights.

    imdb.com/title/tt11646832/

    Just utterly fantastic storytelling and characters.

  7. Not planning a full out #review
    of season 3 of #TheOutlaws, but if you've been watching all along season 3 brings it all to a very satisfying ending. #ChristopherWalken
    is only there for a minute, but all the others are back and situations are resolved. I did write full reviews of seasons 1 and 2, therefore don't think another is needed.
