Two and a half years after the first full length effort "A Wave to Carry Us Out", Nauticus has finally released their self-financed
second album. Just like it's predecessor, the new album titled "The Wait" paints an experimental musical image with all genre

Two and a half years after the first full length effort "A Wave to Carry Us Out", Nauticus has finally released their self-financed
second album. Just like it's predecessor, the new album titled "The Wait" paints an experimental musical image with all genre
boundaries broken.
Driven by the vision of drummer Tuomas Rajala, Nauticus has thus far released a virtual demo and in 2009 with the current line-
up already involved a full lenght debut album. After the bands first efforts on stage and a good response to the debut from the
finnish media, the second album started to take form with five equal members of the band all involved in the composing process
of the upcoming release. With all the musicians in the band bearing long and complex musical backgrounds from years past, the
albums musical extremeties seemed even further apart, but a strong unified vision of the Nauticus sounds was now present.
"The Wait" is a seven song concept album with eight tracks on it, that was furiously written, composed, practiced and recorded
within a period of two and a half years. An apocalyptic lyrical theme flows through an hour of experimental, psychedelic and
visionary landscape of rock, metal and alternative. From the beginning the objective has been to make music that will stand the
test of time and an album that takes the listener to a complete journey through out the whole release, not something you listen
song by song on shuffle with your MP3-player. The band feels there is no need for over the top individual musical showmanship,
as the aim is to bring forth a strong vision as a single unit.
The biggest leap from the debut has been made through the technological aspects as a true talent was brought in to record, mix
and even at some parts produce the album. Antti Loponen is the visionare behind alternative metal band Consciousness Removal
Project, in which he composes, arranges, plays, records, mixes and masters all of the material himself. After playing a few gigs
together and obviously sharing a musical vision with Loponen, Nauticus retreated to record the sophomore album with Antti
leading the way in the summer of 2011. The mastering process was again handled by Sami Sarhamaa at Perfect Sound Studios
and all of the art was accuired from the band's trusted cover artist Matador Gigante.
