I interviewed Enrico from ARTAIUS . 01. Hi! Can you tell us the ARTAIUS story from its beginning to now ? We started playing together in 2008, with the aim of merging folk tunes and atmospheres with the raw power of metal music: after some lineup changes, we finally got the right people to grow up as a band. We released an EP in 2011 and started playing live more intensively, sharing the stage with great acts such as Kalevala, Furor Gallico, Diabula Rasa. Meanwhile, we recorded our very first full-length and now we’re looking for gigs to promote it! 02. The band is influenced by a lot of musical genres, how was it integrated inside the band ?
