Nauzea is a heavy metal band from Helsinki, Finland. Their music has influences from Heavy metal, Melodic metal and other styles of metal genres.

History
Before founding Nauzea Jon Ash and Yang Wang had been playing together in other projects. The collaboration between the two guitar players was fenomenal like they could read each others mind as they were playing.

As Jon and Yang wanted to take things to a higher level and the members in the old band were not willing to invest as much time and effort they decided to part ways with the band to create a new one. This time Jon took responsobility for lead vocals.

In June 2011 Janne Ollikainen was added to the band and the recording of their first demo could begin. Since they lacked a bass player at this point Yang was responsible for laying down the bass tracks.

"Demo I" was received well by the media and critics. The leading finnish music magazine SOUNDI gave an excellent review of the release.

The band auditioned several bass players but none of them had the "magical feeling" to them so in order to keep themselves interesting they returned to the studio in January 2012 to record "Demo II". This time they wanted to show their versatility and chose two songs that represented the

extremes of each other for the release. The new release "Demo II" was again well received.

The group had enough material to conquer live stages with their violent energy but they still lacked a bass player so it was time for more auditions. This time around they had more luck with the process as Tomas Oksanen was taken for a trial period.

A tour in China was scheduled for June 2012 and they settled a bunch of live shows in Finland and Estonia.
