May 30, 2014, 10 years ago
Florida-based melodic metallers Artizan have announced that they will enter the studio in September, once again with legendary producer Jim Morris (Iced Earth, Crimson Glory, Death). This will be their first, fully realized concept album featuring a sci-fi theme.
Fans can expect all of the musical elements that Artizan are known for: melodic heavy metal with dynamic, progressive passages and some serious hooks. The story will take the listener on an emotional journey of hope, struggle, adventure and discovery.
Artizan have also announced that they will be offering two versions of the physical release: a standard CD with artwork by Marc Sasso (Dio, Halford) who illustrated the first Artizan album Curse Of The Artizan, and a special limited edition featuring the work of Berlin based artist, Eliran Kantor (Testament, Hatebreed). Eliran created the art for the current Artizan release Ancestral Energy.
Fans will essentially have a choice of how they can experience the visual representation of the new album. An extensive Indiegogo campaign is expected to launch in July giving the fans exclusive access to both versions.
