Hellripper have released the third single and the title track from their forthcoming album entitled “The Affair Of The Poisons”. Pre-order "The Affair Of The Poisons" on CD, LP, cassette and digitally here: https://hellripper.lnk.to/AffairOfThePoisons Hellripper's James McBain explains the events that inspired the track “the song takes inspiration from a series of events that occurred in 17th Century France. Possession, witchcraft, child sacrifice & poisonings were at the heart of a large-scale investigation conducted during the reign of the Sun King (Louis XIV) after an extensive plot was unearthed within the court of Versailles, targeting members of the aristocracy and the King himself in order to gain power and influence; the scandal exploded when it was revealed that the royal favourite herself was partaking in black masses and had allegedly poisoned a younger rival to win back the King’s favour. " THE AFFAIR OF THE POISONS The child is ripped from the womb of the whore As the altar of flesh soaks in blood The candles burn bright in the shadow of gore For the Blasphemous call of the dark Drink from the chalice, this ichor of life As the clandestine rites are pronounced This black magic calls on the princes of Hell With the force to beguile the crown Vile congregation of the damned! Black divinations bring power from hell Manifest poisons and bless them with spell Sin’s congregation with death and disease Hail the eternal one! Arcane ambition infecting the soul Forged execrations to regain control Grave premonitions of efforts obscene Hail the infernal one! The venom of vengeance in clandestine form Will bring death to the traitors within The outbreak of malice will unleash the storm And blacken the might of the Sun The profit of murder and lust for revenge Decimates all that stand in the way The father and sons die to end her torment Drowned by hatred, they slowly decay The sinister confessions of the cursed! Black divinations bring power from hell Manifest poisons and bless them with spell Sin’s congregation with death and disease Hail the eternal one! Arcane ambition infecting the soul Forged execrations to regain control Grave premonitions of efforts obscene Hail the infernal one! The burning court awaits you now Face the judgement The punishment for broken vows The heretics will die in pain Face the torment Endure the devastating shame Black divinations bring power from hell Manifest poisons and bless them with spell Sin’s congregation with death and disease Hail the eternal one! Arcane ambition infecting the soul Forged execrations to regain control Grave premonitions of efforts obscene Hail the infernal one!
