Recording new songs

Yesterday we entered Runenlyd's Stormlab Studio to record a new song.

We had a great time together, as usual, and were very productive. The drums, guitars and bass tracks are already finished! Keyboard tracks are almost done. Did I mention we were productive? :)

The unmixed draft sounds great already, but we won't post any preview before it sounds perfect.

Arcturus Tribute Released

Today, the third and last chapter of the triple tribute "Old Crown, New Spawn" has been released by the label Aspherical Asphyxia.

In this volume, dedicated to Arcturus, Artefact covered the song "Radical Cut".

Emperor Tribute Released

The label Aspherical Asphyxia have just released the first chapter of their new project, featuring Artefact:


Old Crown New Spawn is a triple tribute to the legendary bands Emperor, Arcturus and Ved Buens Ende.

This first chapter is dedicated to Emperor. Artefact covered the song "The Loss and Curse of Reverence"



The CD release is planned in the next few months, but the songs are already available for download.

Listen to Artefact right from the website

The first new feature we wanted to add is to allow everyone to listen to our albums in the easiest way possible. Just click on the album cover and a player will pop up with all the songs ready to listen to. Best of all, it's completely free!

Why we are doing this

There's no point denying the facts: it's very easy to download whatever you like for free on the internet. Instead of complaining, we decided to embrace the truth.

What you can do for us in return

The first thing you can do is spread the word around!

If you like our music, consider a donation. By doing so, you can help us produce future releases. In the future we plan to make exclusive material available to financial supporters.

You can also purchase the CDs from the official store.

Artefact is definitely turning a page here, we don't know where this will lead us, you can make the difference.

www.Artefact-Metal.com changed!

We decided to give ourselves a new website. Here it is! We have great ideas and expectations for this new platform. It is quite empty for now, but it's only the beginning.

We are already working hard together on new songs. The first change to this is that we are working in the most collaborative way, all five together on the songs.

To keep in touch, you now know the place, it's right here!
