RAGANA – You Take Nothing

Description

The breathtaking second vinyl album (and fourth full-length) from
Oakland’s RAGANA, a female two-piece whose members alternate duties on
drums, guitar, and vocals to produce some of the most unique and
affecting dark music being made today. Originally coming together in the
DIY punk scene of Olympia, Washington, Ragana draw upon a number of
influences from the flora and fauna of their Pacific Northwest origins
to the darkly nostalgic folk of Mt. Eerie and, yes, their Olympian
forebearers Wolves In The Throne Room, synthesizing them into an
experimental, highly idiosyncratic take on black metal. Held together by
an intense focus on raw emotion and haunting atmospherics, Ragana shifts
seamlessly from tender, mesmerizing vocal harmonies to piercing,
heart-ripping shrieks and back again. Heavy, dark, beautiful and punishing.
Originally released by An Out Recordings in 2017
