Description: Recently signed to The Flenser, Ragana is a band with members based in both Olympia, WA, and Oakland, CA. Their members interchange between drums, guitar, and vocals. Their music showcases a blend of intense heaviness and profound emotion, drawing inspiration from folk and black metal, resulting in a quite gripping experimental hybrid. Desolation’s Flower is part of their upcoming full length of the same name, and a particularly compelling and heart-wrenching track.
Ragana's description of the song is very meaningful, as they call it "a hymn of gratitude for queer and trans ancestors, known or unknown, by blood or affinity, whose joy and survival make our lives possible, and whose memory inspires and helps us resist the tide of increasingly visible hatred and oppression."
