Hailing from Canberra, Rankin channels personal turmoil into something sonically immense—angry, yes, but also intentional and deeply crafted. This is the kind of track that doesn’t just speak to a specific emotion—it embodies it, distilling unresolved pain into a tightly wound three-minute release.
Musically, the track pays homage to the genre’s heyday—echoes of early Asking Alexandria and A Day To Remember ripple through the mix—but Rankin’s approach feels more introspective than imitative. There’s a self-awareness in the songwriting that elevates the rage into something more nuanced. His vocals don’t just vent—they articulate, balancing aggression with control.
Built from the ground up in his own studio and later mastered by Levi Russell, the production holds surprising weight. It’s raw where it needs to be, sharp where it counts, and never over-polished. The guitars slice through with clarity, the drums punch with precision, and the breakdowns land with a sense of purpose rather than just impact.
But perhaps what’s most compelling about All Is Well In Hell is its emotional honesty. It doesn’t posture or pretend—it reflects. In a genre often crowded by bravado, Rankin offers something different: a window into the kind of emotional reckoning that doesn’t need to shout to be heard.
It’s heavy music with a human core—and that makes it hit all the harder.
