Life Artist

Life Artist is a Progressive Metal band from Germany, possibly known from their presence in the early 1990ties. After the success of their first Demo "Faith" (1991) and tour support for Psychotic Waltz and Gypsy Kyss they released their debut album in 1992 ("A Diary Of Inner Visions"). Life Artist toured and played with bands like Psychotic Waltz, Mekong Delta, Sieges Even, Deathrow, Gypsy Kyss, Siren, Accu§er, Battlefield or Megace. In 1991 Life Artist performed at the second Wacken Open Air and were the backing band for the solo project of Psychotic Waltz vocalist Devon Graves (aka Buddy Lackey) back in 1993. In 1993 the band wanted to pursue an instrumental direction and recorded the demo tape “Land(e)scapes Within a Building” in 1994 after being dropped by their record label. In 1995 the band broke up. In 2012 founding members Ingo Holzhauer and Marco Witte decided to reanimate Life Artist as a studio project. In the following years the former members Frank Jauernick and Dirk Eckhard joined the project along with Poverty`s No Crime drummer Andreas Tegeler. In May 2016 Life Artist recorded their first new song called "Antisocial Networks, which finally appeared exclusively on the Metalliance Vol. 2 sampler in early 2017. The second album "Lifelines" was completed in May 2021. The mastering was carried out by Matt Korr in the Red Roof Studio Loftsound in July 2021. "Lifelines" was released in August 27, 2021 via Ragnarök Records. In addition, the band announced a vinyl edition to be released at the end of 2021.
