Arson Under the Sea

Arson Under the Sea is a sludge/doom metal band from Oulu, Finland, known for their intensely dark and introspective sound. Featuring members with backgrounds in bands like Fall Of The Idols and Black Mass Pervertor, they deliver heavy, murky music that dives into themes of guilt, pleasure, alienation, and self-imposed confinement. Their work avoids the usual stoner rock clichés, opting instead for a more brooding and somber atmosphere, exemplified in releases such as their album *Comfort in Suffocation* (2025) and earlier works like their *EP* from 2014 and the *Split* EP.

The band is currently composed of Rami on vocals, bass, and drums, and Tero on guitars. Their music combines emotional depth with a brutal sludge/doom aesthetic, exploring the darker side of the human experience in a way that’s both heavy and thought-provoking. If you’re into metal that goes beyond the surface and seeks to explore raw inner struggles, Arson Under the Sea is a band worth checking out.
