First Artisan video released
July 1, 2011 | Author Jens F. Ryland
Artisan is a Norwegian band project and media experiment lead by your’s truly: Jens F. Ryland. As a band we will continue to make music without being tied to a genre or put in a shelf. As a media project Asgeir Mickelson and myself will continue to make posts about our lives as musicians on this blog along with creating new possibilities to implement our music.
The lineup for this first song and video is:
ICS Vortex – bass and vocals (ex-Dimmu Borgir, ICS Vortex, Borknagar, Arcturus)
Mustis – keys (ex-Dimmu Borgir)
Asgeir Mickelson – drums and guitar (ex-Borknagar, ex-Testament, Spiral Architect. Sarke, ICS Vortex)
Jens F. Ryland – guitar and video production (Borknagar, ICS Vortex)
Vegasti – video editing and production
The first Artisan video is a fan-video from the online game “Age of Conan” by Funcom
I play AoC actively and this is my tribute to a brilliant game. Playing AoC is in itself a good inspiration to create music, and that is why this whole band and this particular song has come to life.
Artisan is not signed to any label and at this time we have no live plans.

Enjoyed that song and the vid…ALMOST made me think about resubbing too. Good job
OMG this is brilliant!!! Dare i say i liked it even more than the previewed song from Vortex’s upcoming album! :} Do more plz, an album! \m/
Would you mind posting the lyrics please?
Such an awesome video.
I listen to some metal and I’m obsessed with AoC so this is the perfect combination,
. If it’s ever released in a single online or in stores, I want to buy! ^.~.
Thanks,

Working on a digital distribution somehow, coming up.

Woow, really great work, saludos desde México
I love it!!! but im not sure an album would fit the idea of the band. as it was meant to be heard with the video.( but then again its your band and you could do as you please) but i love the idea of touring!!!!!! you could have the vid on a big ass screen playing in the background as you perform. HELL YEAH!!!!!!! i love all your work Jens , keep them coming
Thank you Garret

amazing track – and i also want so see you live – so there are at least two of us
and i also think you should release this trake – maybe on a donation base?
Amazing track!! you should start composing more and record an album!
Btw, you need to put it on iTunes or something to buy it. Bandcamp has the option to buy mp3 and loseless, which is awesome!
Congrats!
Great stuff, Video games and epic metal combined.. hell yes, you guys did an awesome job.
The result is amazing!
About the song itself, can you describe how the loe pitched/dark vocal effect is achieved during the verse? This is something Im trying to achieve lol.
it came out great
Awesome work!
Thanx, glad you liked it

YESSSSSSSS! This is AWESOME! The song is sooooo gooodddd!!!!!!!! I apologize if you’ve already stated this elsewhere, but will this song be available for purchase anywhere?
No, Artisan is still unsigned. We’ll try to get it it on iTunes or something I guess. For now you’ll need to use the Youtube link
————Jens
Yes, please release it independently on iTunes!!!! I’m sure you’d make some nice money from that with all the rabid fans you guys each have from your other bands! This song is so good, I really hope to have it as something I can listen to while I’m out
This was amazing! God you guys are a super group in my oppenion.
I hope to see you guys sometime. Keep up the good work, I’ll be sure to buy your album as soon as it comes out.
He he, at least one person want’s us to become a proper touring band
———–Jens
Wants you to? YOU NEED TO!
You guys are too good just to be a studio band, you’ll have thousands of fans!
I could be your roadie! haha.
lyrics ASAP! Thanks master Jens… this kicks aaaaaaaaaaaass!!
Thanx Javo, and thank you for the idea; I’ll make a post one of these days with the lyrics.
