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.
They decided to cast aside the technical death metal, founded Artrach and started to play a blend of progressive power/heavy metal.
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.
Shortly after, both Jeroen and Filip left the band, but their replacements were soon found in Wouter Nottebaert (bass guitars) and David Vandewalle (guitars). In this new line-up, the first live performance took place in April 2002, headlining at ‘Live On Stage 2002’ in Lauwe.
In May 2002, the band re-entered the Midas Studios to record 6 tracks for their debut demo-CD ‘Through Archways of Dark’. In September, both ‘Archways…’ and the ‘Overdrive’ compilation were finally released and after a couple of weeks, the first promisingly positive reviews on both releases started to appear everywhere in magazines, e-zines,…

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,...)!
