Having set the scene for “The Affair Of The Poisons” with their first single “Spectres of the Blood Moon Sabbath” Hellripper continues to explore the themes within the new album – the dark & insidious underworld witchcraft and the occult.

This new track is based on a real-life event that took place in Glasgow, Scotland in 1954. James McBain explains more 'Vampire's Grave' was the final track written for the album and the goal was to create a short and simple guitar-driven song in the vein of bands like Motörhead. Lyrically, the track is based on the tale of the "Gorbals Vampire", where over the course of a few nights in 1954, hundreds of young children descended upon the Glasgow Necropolis armed with stakes and crosses in search of a large, vampiric creature with blood red eyes that they believed was responsible for killing and devouring kids with its iron fangs.”

VAMPIRE’S GRAVE
Silhouettes of bloody murder paint the tombs tonight
The burnt remains of missing children are soaked in orange light
Nocturnal acts of savage torture fill the creature’s lust
Among the fog and stench of sulphur, bodies draped in dust

Feeding on virgin blood
The monster that haunts the necropolis
With iron teeth, he hunts

The vampire’s grave
Devil’s disease
The vampire’s grave
The fatal bite

Rising from his daylight slumber of a curse possessed
Deprived of all but sanguine hunger - seeking perfect flesh
Arm the young with stakes and crosses - send the beast to hell
The grizzly maw stained red with slaughter - nothing left but shells

Feeding on virgin blood
The monster that haunts the necropolis
With iron teeth, he hunts

The vampire’s grave
Devil’s disease
The vampire’s grave
Breathe Poison

The vampire’s grave
Devil’s disease
The vampire’s grave

The death spell of night

The vampire’s grave
Devil’s disease
The vampire’s grave
