Alternative/avant-garde metal unit FLAGMAN has unleashed its newest EP, Before the Blast.
Based in Seattle and riddled with ADHD, FLAGMAN has carved out its own niche in the metal community with a sound best described as “the lovechild of Primus, Mike Patton, and System of a Down.”
Before the Blast is now streaming on Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.

Despite various lineup changes, touring challenges, and the many other hurdles that accompany bands in the modern age, FLAGMAN has spent the last 10 years living the ‘never say die’ mantra. The band has built a reputation based on a boundary-pushing approach to songwriting and explosive live performances, sharing the stage with acts such as Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Battles, Man On Man, Melvinator, Hed PE, and more.
With Before the Blast, the band leans heavily into the avant-garde tendencies, weaving angular riffs, manic rhythms, and industrial flair into an experience that is both urgent and unhinged.
