Havok is a solo rock/pop project that leans toward heavier live rooms, built around riffs, tight pacing and a clear front‑of‑stage presence; the project has appeared on larger bills such as the Brooklyn Paramount tied to Killswitch Engage. Hellripper is the one‑man black/speed metal project of Scottish musician James McBain, citing Venom, Darkthrone and thrash influences and focusing lyrical themes on witchcraft and the occult.
