“Conflagrations is a masterpiece of technical, progressive death metal.”

– The Killchain

“Anyone still moaning about Opeth’s abandonment of death metal needs to hear Rannoch’s Conflagrations. Equal parts brutal bombast and elegant complexity. Gripping and heavy as it gets.”

– PROG

“Another standout album from a band that is quickly becoming one of the leaders of the Progressive Death Metal movement.” (9/10)

– Metal Temple

“Rannoch have become absolute masters of their craft. They still manage to find ways to keep raising the bar each and every time.”

– No Clean Singing

“An incredible record from a band that’s on the brink of greatness.” (4.5/5)

– Metal Epidemic

“As fun as it is technically impressive, channeling the thrill associated with heavy metal into ever-evolving – but never condescending – compositions.”

– Invisible Oranges

“A work of modern progressive death metal done right, Conflagrations is an intoxicating listen that will pull you into Rannoch’s soundscape and render you so at home amongst their performance you’ll hardly wish to leave.”

– The Razors Edge

“Conflagrations is an exemplary album that strides between the progressive realms of both the metal and death metal worlds with commanding ease.”

– Wonderbox Metal

“Rannoch is an incredibly solid project that knows how to let heaviness, groove and fury express themselves via massive riffs while drawing on its diverse influences.” (85/100)

– Acta Infernalis

“This UK trio shows off technicality, aggression, and memorable, soulful songwriting on Conflagrations.”

– Toilet ov Hell

“An excellent mixture of ideas.” (8.5/10)

– Metallerium

“Conflagrations is an outstanding album that pushes the boundaries of Progressive Death Metal.” (8/10)

– Amplified Magazine

Accompanied by Australian drumming legend, Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris, Black Lava) the seven tracks contained within Conflagrations 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 (Cradle of Filth, Onslaught, Ghosts of Atlantis), Conflagrations represents a new hybrid of progressive death metal.

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. Swathes of ethereal clean vocals, dark ambience and dynamic shifts accompany sledgehammer brutality and savagely intense screams.
