ARTIZAN: First Studio Clip Posted Online
November 22, 2010U.S. melodic power metallers ARTIZAN have released the first in a series of "studio clips" which they plan to unveil before the release of their new album. In the first portion of the clip, you can see a cellist and bassist performing a dynamic piece which will be included in one of the new songs. ARTIZAN founder/drummer Ty Tammeus states, "We were striving to implement captivating dynamics in the new material; there are a lot of peaks and valleys. I believe we have heavy, catchy riffs and some very memorable melodic vocal passages. Traditional, melodic metal with a touch of the progressive element is what we are all about."
ARTIZAN recently finished recording its first CD with legendary producer Jim Morris (ICED EARTH, DEATH, CANNIBAL CORPSE, JAG PANZER). The cover artwork was created by fantasy artist Marc Sasso. An early 2011 release via Germany's Pure Steel Records is expected.
ARTIZAN, hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, was formed by original members of the acclaimed Century Media recording artist LEVIATHAN, and released its self-titled debut EP in late 2009. With a strong resemblance to such great bands as IRON MAIDEN, QUEENSRŸCHE, FATES WARNING and CRIMSON GLORY, ARTIZAN is undoubtedly one of the best exponents of what classic heavy metal is all about.
ARTIZAN is:
Tom Braden - Vocals
Ty Tammeus - Drums
Shamus McConney - Rhythm Guitar
Hermanus J. Rombouts - Rhythm & Lead Guitar
Jonathan Jennings Jr. - Bass
