ARTIZAN: Debut EP Out Now

December 7, 2009

ARTIZAN, the Jacksonville, Florida-based progressive metal band featuring former LEVIATHAN members Tom Braden (vocals) and Ty Tammeus (drums),has released a three-song EP containing "well-crafted compositions which blend melodic hooks with developed, but not overbearingly complex, progressive arrangements," according to a press release.

In the mid-1990s, LEVIATHAN released two successful and well-received albums on Century Media Records. Braden and Tammeus are working their way back into the metal fold with the help of guitarists Shamus McConney and Hermanus Rombouts and bass player Jon Jennings.

For some serious street cred, ARTIZAN enlisted Jim Morris (ICED EARTH, DEATH, CANNIBAL CORPSE, CRIMSON GLORY) to handle the production on the new EP.

ARTIZAN is:

Ty Tammeus - Drums
Tom Braden - Vocals
Shamus McConney - Guitar
Hermanus J. Rombouts - Guitar
Jon Jennings - Bass
