Biography

Operating somewhere in the depths of post-metal and progressive death metal, Sargassus remains a recognizable band with a unique soundscape. Be it progressive post- metal passages or doom-infused dynamic riffs, Sargassus is comfortable experimenting with their sound in any direction, unwilling to fit any conventional mold.

Initially conceived as a duo some ten years ago by Teemu Leskinen and Matias Rokio, the band slowly gathered momentum, finding their style through live jamming sessions, which became the blueprint for most future songs. Since then singer Matias Stenman and bass player Mertta Halonen have joined the ranks of the band, contributing to the ever evolving sound of Sargassus.

The band has received a lot of praise for all of their past releases, much due to standing out from the masses as well as their musical professionalism. Currently Sargassus is playing more live shows than ever before, while also composing new material for their debut full length album.
