about

The first true Rannoch EP released in 2008.

Zero Tolerance wrote:
“This is one of those very rare demos that blows you away on first listen. I don’t have enough words available to me to do justice to even one of these songs let alone all five, three of which are staggeringly good. So many different moods, movements, tempos, feelings... intense, technical, brutal and melodic, all in the first few minutes of opener, “Heathen”. The technical ability on display is superb, but it’s also the great riffs and superbly structured material that really make this CD special. A fantastic piece of work! 5/5”
