'The Affair of the Poisons' from the 2nd Hellripper full-length album, 'The Affair of the Poisons' out October 9th 2020 on Peaceville Records. Order 'The Affair of the Poisons' Here: Lyrically, this 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. -- ▶ OFFICIAL WEBSITE: ▶ BANDCAMP: ▶ MERCH: -- ▶ FACEBOOK: ▶
