Bio:

Artizan is a four piece melodic metal band from Jacksonville, Florida. Founded by drummer Ty Tammeus in 2008, Artizan crafts powerful, melodic metal. Dynamic song structure, dominant rhythms and melodic hooks are key ingredients to the Artizan formula. 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. Guitarist Shamus McConney creates stomping rhythms and transcending harmonies. Churning riffs, melodic phrases and searing solos are woven throughout the tapestry of Artizan. Jon Jennings provides the low end rhythms with his mastery of the bass guitar. 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." Early 2010 Artizan signed a management/booking deal with Intromental Management and shortly after signed a Worldwide deal with German-based record label Pure Steel Records in order to release the debut album "Curse Of The Artizan" April 2011, and effectively market the group for worldwide success. "Curse Of The Artizan" consistently continues the high class of the progressive, pathos-drenched and extremely melodic US Metal-sound. The three songs from the EP ("Fire", "Game Within A Game" and "Rise") were also taken up once again and new pieces were added, all of which uphold the high level the fans have come to expect from ARTIZAN. In addition to that, the 10-minute title-song reveals in its lyrics what "Artizan" is all about. From time to time memories of classic Heavy Metal bands like older Savatage, Judas Priest, or - especially in relation to the great twin-guitar-leads - Iron Maiden awake, but still the five musicians have a completely unique sound, as it has been played by no other band before. Sometimes very rampant passages are offered, then again there are some simple, yet striking songs, which have a real sing-a-long-character. The clear, yet powerful voice of the former Leviathan-singer Tom Braden also showcases the unique aspect of ARTIZAN, whilst building upon the progressive elements of his and drummer Ty Tammeus' former band very convincingly.On the top of that the cover was done by fantasy-artist Marc Sasso, who also was responsible for covers from Dio and Halford. As you can imagine – this is a one-of-a-kind cover artwork, a painting depicting the "Artizan" in all of his might. ARTIZAN take the balancing act between honest heaviness and great melodies: And they create that with a finesse that is second to none!

Albhum:

ARTIZAN is a four piece melodic metal band from Jacksonville, Florida in U.S.A., founded by drummer Ty Tammeus in 2008. Since its formation, the band released in 2009 an EP named “Artizan”, in 2011 their debut album, “Curse Of The Artizan”. For 2013, ARTIZAN is about to release their second full-length album "Ancestral Energy" via Pure Steel Records.Opener “I Am The Storm” is so catchy with memorable music, crispy melodies and riffs, and charging rhythms. Tom Braden (ex-LEVIATHAN) has an interesting line of voice, clear, full of depth, pure and melodic; he can to show very easy emotions. The overall atmosphere of the song is similar to PEGAZUS. “The Raven Queen” displays the enormous riffing of Shamus McConney very well joined with the rhythm section and the vocals. Think about IRON MAIDEN meets HELLOWEEN. “The Death of Me” has fascinating melodic traditional Metal riffs mixed with a progressive rhythm section played by Jon Jennings and drums played by Ty Tammeus (ex-PROJECT X, ex- LEVIATHAN). The chorus reminded me of "Prime Time", one of the songs of the solo album of James Labrie. “You Can't Take The Metal” is fairly groovy, recalling a dangerous incursion of DAMGEPLAN, JUDAS PRIEST and MANOWAR. There is an amazing melodic chorus with plenty of power and also excellent guitar soloing, a fine tribute to the 80s. “The Guardian” has quite an acoustic guitar intro followed by enchanting vocals. The chorus was emphatic, alongside impressive sounding melodious riffs. The epic “Deep Ocean Dreams” begins with an soft introduction only to afterwards change into a progression menacing in the vein of DREAM THEATER but with heavier riffs. The drum and bass tail IRON MAIDEN with fashion. “Ancestral Energy”, another epic song to the list, lasts over 10 minutes. This is a brilliant, well arranged and built, track sharing progressive manners and utmost skill, guest vocals of Matt Barlow (ex-ICED EARTH, ASHES TO ARES), which exploded with every note, such a contribution for this band. These duo singers complement each other in a way, one with high pitched notes and the other a bit gruesome tone channelling the feeling of MANOWAR.ARTIZAN has been playing a form of Progressive Power Metal. They follow their way very well with creating music without tedious schemes. n their tracks there is an impression of vitality, power and many experience. I'm sure that every fan of melodic Metal will enjoy this music of ARTIZAN.
