So in only 26 minutes on my #Hellripper #MicroMetaljourney I listened to:

• "The Manifestation of Evil" EP
• the "Hellripper/Batsheva" Split
• the "Hellripper/Acid Cross/Kriegg" Split
• the "Prophecies of Ruin" Split

Early Hellripper is raw, short and fast paced Black 'N' Thrash.
All his trademarks are there from the beginning it seems.

The compilation gets 3,5 out of 5 goats in a moshpit.

On the Coagulating Darkness #Hellripper made only minor adjustments which make the album sound more "mature" and compared to the raw beginnings.

Hellripper ticks all my boxes here: fast paced almost Thrash Metal riffs and drums, serious Speed Metal and Rock 'n' Roll vibes topped with harsch black vocals.

Easy 4/5 for me, great album!

Continuing my #Hellripper #MicroMetaljourney with the 2019 EP "Black Arts & Alchemy".

Usually I don't do EPs on a #Metaljourney but Hellripper has a rather compact discography and he'll play 2 songs out of this 4 song EP on his current tour, which I will be seeing soon 🤘

So... All Hail The Goat!

I never noticed it for some reason, but now I cannot unhear strong Motörhead influences.

Of course this album is another great one. #Hellripper delivers and gets better wich each album.

The last one on my #Hellripper #MicroMetaljourney is Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags, my #2 AOTY2023

With this album, the genius from Scotland has catapulted Hellripper into new heights, this album is a true masterpiece.

I cannot wait for The Nuckelavee live 🤘

Oh boy, #Abbath knows how to open an album and Dread Reaver, the final album on my #MicroMetaljourney is no exception:

🎵 Acid Haze

https://song.link/y/aFp5oKXAChQ

This shredds hard 🤘🔥

But where is Abbath? I can't hear him.

Thank's to @Banur I'll throw in the album "Between Two Worlds" by supergroup "I" into my #Abbath #MicroMetaljourney

The opener...

🎵 The Storm I Ride

https://song.link/y/B6rvqWtpOkE

...almost sounds like Traditional Heavy Metal with harsh vocals. I like it!

Between Two Worlds is a great record.

The album is an easy 4 out of 5 and makes me feel like I am crab walking on some frozen lake in Norway with a beer in one hand while throwing the horns with the other.

But now I have a problem... it is not a "pure" Abbath solo album, so how do I rank it?

Let's do it like this:

Final #Abbath #MicroMetaljourney ranking:

[0. Between Two Worlds 4]

1. Outstrider 3,5
2. Abbath 3,5
3. Dread Reaver 3,5
