Hellripper’s mastermind, guitarist/vocalist and songwriter James McBain checked in with the following comment:
“’Kinchyle’ is the McBain clan’s war cry and a fitting first glimpse at the upcoming album.
Lyrically, the track was inspired by my experience growing up in the North-East of Scotland in Aberdeen (the Granite City), and reflects on what it’s like to feel trapped in a certain environment. I wanted to show a side of Scotland that is not necessarily the magical “postcard” that a lot of people picture when thinking of the country.
Musically, the track is very “Hellripper-sounding”, and is the most “rocking” song that I’ve written in quite a while, though there are a few new elements in there that I had fun experimenting with. The track was influenced by the likes of Tank, Running Wild and Motörhead, as well as bands such as Opeth and Witherscape.
All in all, a very personal song both in terms of lyrics and musical influences. Hope you enjoy it... All Hail the Goat!”
