Edit history

Artisan was formed in Brisbane in mid 2011 by guitarist Sam Lonsdale and Dylan Sherman after meeting through friends. With the addition of bassist Evan Slattery and drummer Chris O'meley later that year the group began working original songs and started their search for an appropriate vocalist. Evan met Greg Pieris a couple of months later and after inviting him to a rehearsal the band knew it was a perfect fit. In September 2012 Artisan recorded a three track demo at Alchemix Studios featuring the songs - Judgement Day, All You Have Made and I Have Two Guns. These three tracks demonstrate Artisan's versatility containing heavy riffs and breakdowns, mysterious bass driven sections and complex melodic acoustic solos.

Artisan is an emerging 6 piece progressive metalcore band from Sydney, Australia. Influenced by bands such as Architects, Polaris and Periphery, their sound incorporates tight, heavy rhythmic sections, quiet and melodic bridges, rap inspired vocal lines and powerful choruses. In 2019 Artisan captivated audiences with their tight live show and quickly became a popular name within the Sydney metal scene, regularly playing alongside many highly regarded acts. 2020 will see the release of Artisan’s debut EP ‘Grey’ which showcases their unique expression of contemporary heavy music. ‘Grey’ provides a thought- provoking, sonic experience that explores the listeners’ own state of mind and the broader human condition. The complex, heavy instrumentation reinforces the powerful message conveyed by the dark lyrics.
