Ragana and Agriculture

Ragana is an American blackened doom metal duo from Olympia, Washington, known for their queer antifascist politics and D.I.Y. ethos. Composed of Maria Stocke and Noel Gilson, they alternate duties on drums, guitar, and vocals. Their discography includes "Desolation's Flower" (2023), critically acclaimed by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, and "Ash Souvenir" (2025), a collaboration with Drowse. Their music blends uncompromising heaviness with haunting melodies.

Los Angeles’ Agriculture blends black metal with Zen, queer history, and devotion, crafting intense, spiritual music with band members Dan Meyer, Leah Levinson, Richard Chowenhill, and Kern Haug.
