More info:

Singer Tom Braden’s vocals have been described by Metal Maniacs magazine as “pure and towering.” His distinctive tone, strength and range are fundamental elements that personify the Artizan sound. Hit Parader describes Tom as “a combination of Geoff Tate and John Arch.”

Ty Tammeus is famous for his intense drumming. He applies a creative energy and is the driving impetus of Artizan .Ty has garnered favorable reviews in numerous publications including Modern Drummer and Metal Maniacs.

Guitarists’ Shamus McConney and Hermanus Rombouts compliment one another with stomping rhythms and transcending harmonies. Churning riffs, melodic phrases and searing solos are woven throughout the tapestry of Artizan.

Dangerdog.com states "Artizan's debut EP is substantial evidence that this band is onto something very good. The work is blessed by well-crafted compositions which blend melodic hooks with developed, but not overbearingly complex, progressive arrangements. Each of the three songs quickly piques your interest and pulls you in. Braden's vocals may be the highlight here as he soars with a strength uncommon in most modern metal vocals. Equally impressive is the vigorous fret work which, at times, mimics old school classic metal yet with renewed energy and passion. This is solid stuff: an easy and entertaining listen for all melodic metal fans, yet with enough twists to keep prog fans happy. Any label worth its melodic heavy metal salt should hook up with Artizan at the first opportunity."

Artizan is seeking a relationship with a label that can provide necessary support to complete the first Artizan EP as well as effectively market the group for world wide success.
