Melodic metal act Artizan has announced that April 29th will be the official release date for their first full length CD titled Curse of the Artizan. The release will be available worldwide via the German based label Pure Steel Records.
The track listing is as follows:
Trade the World
Rise
The Man in Black
Fire
Fading Story
Game within a Game
Torment
Curse of the Artizan
The title track Curse of the Artizan clocks in at close to ten minutes and will reveal the story of who exactly the ‘Artizan’ is. Fantasy artist Marc Sasso (Dio, Halford) is creating the artwork for the CD, which will feature the Artizan character and other elements which are integral to the storyline of Curse of the Artizan.
Artizan founder/drummer, Ty Tammeus, states, “Marc has outdone himself with this project. The characters he has created and the level of detail applied are beyond what I envisioned. I wanted to establish unique, identifiable characters relating to the Artizan concept that are captivating to the viewer. Marc has achieved that for us. The artwork is just plain badass!”
The final artwork will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Artizan has also announced that Ty Tammeus will be at this year's Keep it True Festival in Germany to promote the CD release. The annual festival will be held this year on April 29th and 30th.
