FLUX - PLAINS AT GROUND ZERO 7" (MAN'S RUIN RECORDS [MR-31], 1996) [USA]

Flux - Plains at Ground Zero 7"
(Man's Ruin Records – [MR-31], 1996) [USA]





Flux is a stoner metal band from Dallas, Texas that I really know very little about! One proper release from 1996 on Man's Ruin Records. I love kinda discovering these slightly obscure bands that release one single and disappear. I love the B-side on this one and fits into that stoner rock groove I've been in for the past month.
