“We have been working on our debut album for quite a while now. The first demos were recorded in 2021. Slowly but surely the album came together. We are very pleased how the songs came into life in the studio. The album was recorded mostly live in the studio. Sarajah is a live band and we have plans to do shows soon.” – says the band
Finnish Doom Metal band Sarajah was formed by guitarist J.H. to play Heavy Metal in the vein of the old masters BLACK SABBATH, TROUBLE and SAINT VITUS. It was crucial to bring forth themes of nature and mythology strongly rooted in Nordic culture. The name Sarajah refers to a great mythical sea in the north. Vocalist Magus Corvus and drummer H. Wizzard joined the band in 2020. They both also play in Doom Metal band Fimir. The lineup was completed in 2021 when bassist and guitarist Jeff Pekkilä joined the band. The band entered Electric Fox Studios in early 2023 to record a debut album. The album features 8 songs with heavy guitars, pounding drums and strong bass. The sound of Sarajah is based on heavy Iommian riffs. Played loud and live.
