Nauticus is a progressive/art metal band from Turku, Finland. Founded by drummer Tuomas Rajala, the band has self-released two full-length albums: 2009's ''A Wave to Carry Us Out'' and 2012's ''The Wait''. The band consists of, apart from Rajala, Juuso Jalava (bass), Markku Kastell (guitar), Jani Portaanoja (guitar) and Jani Rämö (vocals).

Nauticus's sound is very psychedelic and very ethereal, dabbling heavily into the extreme and artistic sonic experimentation explored by groups like King Crimson and Anathema and seamlessly blending them with strong doses of progressive metal akin to groups like Tool, Indukti and Intronaut. With similarly dark and menacing overtones and a disposition for invoking striking artistic imagery, Nauticus set themselves apart with a strong focus on a blended and unique sound and a strong DIY-ethic that will appeal to forward thinking music listeners.
