Marianas Rest

Marianas Rest is a Finnish melodic death metal band hailing from the coastal town of Kotka, where they formed back in 2013. These guys blend heavy, atmospheric doom vibes with melodic riffs and growling vocals, creating a sound that's both crushing and introspective, often drawing on themes of loss, nature, and human struggles. Starting out independently, they caught the attention of Napalm Records and have been steadily building their rep with a string of solid releases that showcase their evolving style.

Their discography kicked off with the debut album *Horror Vacui* in 2016, followed by *Ruins* in 2019, *Fata Morgana* in 2021, and their latest, *Auer*, in 2023. Tracks like "Sirens" featuring Aaron Stainthorpe from My Dying Bride add some epic guest flair, and they've earned praise for their moody, immersive live shows across Europe. If you're into bands like Swallow the Sun or Insomnium, Marianas Rest is definitely worth diving into for that perfect mix of melancholy and metal heft.
