HELLRIPPER Covered RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS And It Rules

Speed metal solo act Hellripper is back with a surprise new EP and it’s got one hell of a surprise on it. Hellripper is now streaming Fork-Tongued Messiah featuring an original title track and an absolutely ripping cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ 1989 track “Punk Rock Classic”.

Stream ’em both below and get your physical copy of Fork-Tongued Messiah right here on Bandcamp. You know you want that “Punk Rock Classic” cover on vinyl… or at least I do.

“With sinful and grave desire… Fork-Tongued Messiah!” wrote Hellripper of the EP. “I’m pleased to have a new single released and the first new music from myself in over a year! ‘Fork-Tongued Messiah’ is a track that I worked on during the Warlocks Grim… sessions, but felt that it did not fit the album’s vibe. I like the song and still wanted to release it, and so I thought it would be cool to self-release a standalone 7″ with a cover of ‘Punk Rock Classic’ by Red Hot Chili Peppers on the b-side.

“With amazing artwork by @rainovfire, you can listen to the new track now on all streaming platforms and you can find 4 different versions of the vinyl on Bandcamp (link in comments). There are 250 copies each of black, purple, orange & transparent cream that you can grab and these are due to arrive with me in late September/October time.

“Thanks so much for the continued support, and I hope you enjoy the song – let me know what you think! All Hail the Goat Kvlt! This track will not be featured on the next album – that is still a work in progress!”
