Scotland's Hellripper has announced the release of their fourth studio album, Coronach, set to arrive worldwide on March 27, 2026 via Century Media Records.

The album marks a major milestone for mastermind James McBain, serving as Hellripper's debut release for the iconic label.

The album's opening salvo, "Hunderprest," is now available.

A high-energy performance video for the track was filmed at Damnation Festival 2025 by Sethpicturesmusic and edited by Jake Ten.

McBain describes "Hunderprest" as the perfect album opener: "'Hunderprest' hits immediately with a chaotic deluge of dissonance, and is what I felt to be the perfect way to open the album — leaving the listener with no time to prepare.

Based on the legend of 'Hunderprest,' or 'dog priest' – the vampire of Melrose Abbey.

Coronach is available for pre-order now via Century Media Records Link."
