ARTIZAN Taps DIO Artist For New Album
October 21, 2010U.S. melodic power metallers ARTIZAN have tapped fantasy artist Marc Sasso to create the artwork for the band's upcoming full-length debut.
Commented ARTIZAN founder/drummer Ty Tammeus: "I have followed Marc for many years after first seeing his artwork on the DIO 'Killing The Dragon' album, then on DIO's 'Master Of The Moon'. Marc is a very cool guy who loves our style of metal, and I cannot imagine a better artist to convey our vision."
ARTIZAN will enter the studio next week with legendary producer Jim Morris (ICED EARTH, DEATH, CANNIBAL CORPSE, JAG PANZER) to complete recordings for the CD, to be released in early 2011 via Germany's Pure Steel Records.
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
