Биография

Originating from the UK’s West Midlands, Rannoch offer a refreshing take on the progressive death metal subgenre with focused extremity, fastidious technical precision, and rich song writing skills. Rannoch unveil their new opus, “Conflagrations”, a 52 minute cut of untamed evolution. Accompanied by Australian drumming legend, Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris, Black Lava) the seven tracks contained within open up new levels of musicality, punishing aggression, melancholic refrains and winding aural avenues of dark depths and complexity. Produced by Ian Gillings and mixed by James Stephenson (Behemoth, Cradle of Filth, Kataklysm) “Conflagrations” represents a new hybrid of progressive death metal. Rannoch's debut album was released on Eulogy Media (Damim, talanas) at the end of 2013 and received exemplary reviews far and wide, including a massive 4.5/5 from Zero Tolerance and 7.5/10 from Terrorizer. A follow-up EP entitled ‘Age of the Locust’ was released in 2015, featuring cuts left over from the BTW sessions. During the tumultuous years of 2020, the sophomore album, “Reflections Upon Darkness”, was finally unleashed upon the world. With a more evident polar shift between intensity and chilled movements, Rannoch pushed the extremity between these two planes further than ever before, leading Metal Hammer UK to proclaim potential to be included amongst the UK death metal elite and an 8/10 review.
