genre : epic, progressive black metal
similar bands : Mayhem, Keep of Kalessin, Emperor
origin : France
strong spot: compositions, performance
weak spot : no obvious weak elements
At first, Artefact strongly reminded me of Keep of Kalessin but after some more thorough listens I saw lots of additional elements in their music. Emperor were there, Mayhem were there, Opeth were there, Dimmu borgir were there. All these influences were put into the mix and the result is this great album. Artefact are by no means copycats, they just know how to use their influences and ''marry'' them with their original ideas.They sound progressive but they know where to stop, they are epic but they know how to avoid being cheesy.
