Church of the Sea were formed in 2017 in Athens, Greece, when three individuals came together to create a distinct sound, balancing between doom and dark electronic rock. They embrace fuzzed sounds, heavy distorted beats and ethereal, chant‐like vocals. The result is a unique atmosphere where doom’s heaviness meets the dreamlike state of shoegaze and the shrieks of noise‐rock. 
 Their debut EP ‘Anywhere but Desert’, released on October 2nd of 2018, was recorded at Artracks Studios and Coti K’s Suono Studios, engineered and produced by Alex Bolpasis (Whereswilder, Noise Figures, Cyanna Mercury) and Church of the Sea, mixed and mastered by Chris Common (Chelsea Wolfe, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Emma Ruth Rundle). On February 8nd of 2019 ‘Anywhere but Desert’ was released on cassette tape by A Man out of a Man Records. 
 The band has taken part in several festivals (Happening Now, Cult of the Amps, Templefest), was the opening act for Antimatter on March 24th 2019 and The Murder Capital on September 26th, and completed the live cycle for ‘Anywhere but desert’ with a sold out performance at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on February 22th 2020.
