Artisian is a Southampton UK based 3-piece Death/Black Metal project set up in June 2004 by Iain Muir.

The inspiration for the project was drawn from a deep misanthropy, crushing sorrow, severe depression, emotional and physical pain and frustration resulting from dealing with the average person. Utter disgust and hatred for modern society and government, the flawed infrastructure in which it rests, a rejection of the politically-correct hypocrites that turn a blind eye to Nazi-style mob censorship and the wailing ignorance of minority groups that cry discrimination when they don't get what they want; thus producing a yearning for self-sufficiency, solitude, the collapse of all organised religions and a return to paganism.

We came into this world alone, we will leave alone.


We are here to survive, sink or swim.


People can have a prejudice purely because another draws breath
