Artisian is a Southampton based Death/ Black Metal project. Originally set
up in June '04 by Iain Muir - Moloch
The
inspiration for my project was drawn from a deep misanthropy, crushing sorrow,
severe depression, emotional and physical pain and frustration resulting from
dealing with the average person.
Utter
disgust and hatred for modern society and government, the flawed infrastructure
in which it rests, a rejection of the politically correct hypocrites that turn a
blind eye to Nazi style mob censorship and the wailing ignorance of minority
groups that claim to be a majority and cry discrimination when they don't get
what they want.
Modern
society has produced a yearning for; self sufficiency and solitude, the collapse
of all organised religions and a return to paganism. We came into this world
alone, we will leave alone.
We are
here to survive, sink or swim. People can have a prejudice purely because
another draws breathe
...............This is my response.............This is my outlet..............
Influenced by a very cold and harsh sound, this of course, my own
interpretation of the genre but staying within the traditional parameters of
stylisation and minimalism
The
Debut album was released on Halloween '05 on limited release with Grindethic Records and subsequent signing to Copro on full worldwide
2006 release of 'Lament for the Eternal Frost'. Artisian's follow up 'The beast out of the earth' was released May'07. The band are now signed to Sworn Records/infernus Rex for 2 albums, Artisian's 3rd album was released in Oct '07
