Hellripper‘s cover of Arctic Monkeys‘ 2007 b-side “If You Found This It’s Probably Too Late” has newly been released online digitally. James McBain, the mastermind behind the Scottish blackened thrash outfit, commented on this unconventional cover choice:
“I wanted to record something that would perhaps be a little unexpected, and this Arctic Monkeys B-side was screaming for the Hellripper treatment. It may be kind of surprising to some, but they’re one of my all time favourite bands, and though it may not be immediately evident in my music, they have always greatly influenced how I approach songwriting and production. Enjoy!”
