NEWS: Seattle Extreme Prog Metallers A FLOURISHING SCOURGE Releasing Debut Album in June

A Flourishing Scourge, a progressive extreme metal band from the state of Washington, U.S., has begun the march towards the release of its self-titled debut album in June. In the state of Washington they have been building up their name, and their reputation as good musicians has been growing. Their take on extreme metal is a serious endeavor, much of it showing black metal affinities in the guitar work, while the progressive side keeps up a high level of musicianship, too, and with eye towards keeping the metal at the forefront. In all truth, this band and this music is not easy listening and it invites the listeners to take a more active role in the experience in order to appreciate it. The album itself is not something that one listen will reveal in its entirety, but fortunately the band has decided to ease you into the world of A Flourishing Scourge's extreme and progressive metal by posting a new song at the first link below. Consider this your first invitation. One step at a time. There is more coming. A lot more.
