Viper Guitars is thrilled to announce the completion of an extraordinary guitar build for Viper Artist J Patrick McCosar of the renowned band Trip to the Morgue. Dubbed the “Hellfire,” this guitar is one of our most complex creations.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Hellfire features an alder body topped with a stunning buckeye burl, a maple neck, and an ebony fretboard. Its vibrant stained finish in shades of red, orange, and yellow mimics the essence of fire, while Euro red paint adorns the back. 26 frets with custom inlays, a cross burned into the neck, intricate carvings at the tremolo recess, and striking Hellfire graphics on the back enhance its unique character.

Equipped with cutting-edge hardware, including a Sophia 2:92 Pro+ tremolo with red accents, Graphtech ratio tuners, and Schaller strap locks, the Hellfire delivers both performance and style. The electronics feature EMG 85X pickups at the neck and EMG 81X at the bridge, both encased in eye-catching red covers, complete with a volume control, pickup selector, and a Killpot tone/killswitch combo. An additional button controls the stunning red LED lights behind the pickups and tremolo.

Formed in 2010, Trip To The Morgue has been on a mission to deliver a pulverizing concoction of grindcore mayhem, infused with old-school thrash, crossover, and the raw punk energy that birthed these extreme genres. Over the years, the band has honed its sound into a tight, brutal machine, featuring the current lineup of Dave Oshann (bass/vocals), J Patrick McCosar (lead guitar/vocals), Joey Maddox (guitar/vocals), and Vincent Rizzo (drums/vocals).

Toe Tagged And Body Bagged is a sonic time capsule, that transports listeners back to the golden age of thrash, crossover, grindcore, and hardcore. Brace yourself for a pummeling onslaught of heavy riffs, breakneck tempos, and unadulterated aggression, all inspired by the bands that laid the foundation for extreme music.
