(2001 – present)

2001, the start of a new Millennium, and for Diëgo Denorme (drums), Guy Commeene (guitars) and Jeroen G. Doeve (bass guitars), the last remaining members of Belgian death metal pioneers Anesthesy, the perfect time for drastic changes and a new beginning.

In August, as Glenn Devos (vocals), Filip Delva (guitars) and Christof Colle (synths) had joined, a first complete line-up was achieved, in which a first series of songs were composed. In October, Artrach gathered for the first time in the Midas Studios of Tony Deblock to contribute their track “Curse of the Gladiator” to the all-Belgian ‘Overdrive 20 Years Tribute’ compilation.

    Slecht & goed nieuws van het Artrach-front: gitarist David stopt ermee na 6 jaren trouwe dienst. Z'n vervanger is gelukkig al gevonden: Jason Masschelein (ex-Impedigon, ex-Anesthesy, ex-Operation GSD, ex-Gardens Of Grief,...)!
