Ragana, the metal duo consisting of Maria and Coley (who prefer not to use their surnames), has its roots in the early 2010s DIY punk scene of Olympia, Washington.

The pair’s fresh album, Desolation’s Flower, is slated for release on October 27, under the banner of The Flenser, marking their first release for the record label.
