BIOGRAPHY

Rankin delivers filthy, bluesy groove-metal inspired by heavyweights like Motörhead, Down, and Pantera, seamlessly infused with elements of sludge, thrash, prog, and alternative metal. This unique blend creates a crushing yet dynamic soundscape that has captivated audiences since the band's inception.

Formed in 2018, Rankin quickly established themselves as a powerhouse in the local music scene. Known for their vibrant, frenetic live performances, the band—comprising Shaun Farrugia (Guitar), Gimli Ukkonen (Drums), German Salgado (Bass), and James Byrne (Vocals)—never fails to get crowds moving and heads banging.

heir debut album, Chrysalis (2022), showcased their dynamic range and heavy grooves, cementing their place as one of Malta's most exciting metal acts. Since then, Rankin has shared stages with international heavyweights such as Kryptos and Contortion, expanding their musical journey and captivating audiences with their raw energy.
