Artifex is a Bologna-based band founded back in 1997 by Antonio "Mircea" Olivo (voice/guitar/electronics) afterwards joined Francesco Paonessa (drums & machines). The stylistic evolution through the years has led Artifex to "reach" a personal dimension sound. The sound is an "HardRock / Industrial" dilated and wide where electronic parts, are fused to rock and crossover, with an approach that touches even marginally the progressive, creating a powerful and engaging music. Artifex with their own music want to recall that "verve" which had the great bands of the 70s, developing their sound in a modern key through the "balance" between analog and digital.Four CDs self-produced, Tristis'97, In-Side'01, Artifex ‘03, Redux Ep '09 and the upcoming Suspension of Disbelief (2010), which gave the band the opportunity to grow-up more musically, experiment in the studio and live, key elements for success to create a dimension that would also involve the visual aspect.
