3) Artefact (France)
Genesis Of Artefact :
Artefact came into the minds of Julien (vocals), Alucard (Guitars) and Aldébaran (Guitars) in anno 2000. Together, they began to create and record their first eponym demo, but they also have difficulties to find other musicians to complete the band. However, it's during this period that the musical orientation of ARTEFACT started really.
The goal of their music was to inspire dream and to bring the listener in another world. In this way, they create an original music which sounds like anyone else. But to describe briefly their music it could be a combination of Black-Metal (EMPEROR, ARCTURUS, BURZUM, ENSLAVED, OPETH, BATHORY, early IN FLAMES, DISSECTION, BAL SAGOTH, DIMMU BORGIR, early ULVER and more...) with varied and vast elements like Heavy-Metal (METALLICA, Y.J.MALMSTEEN, IRON MAIDEN), Death-Metal (DEATH), Doom-Metal (early AMORPHIS, PARADISE LOST etc...), also many Classical references (composers: E.GRIEG, J.S.BACH...), Medieval Polyphony (G. De MACHAUT etc...) and even some influence in Jazz music. But it is of course a non-exhaustive list.
Rising Force...
Luckily, they meet two talented musicians, Ranko (drums) and Alexis (bass) in March 2002 with the help of a common friend. They were ex-members of OKTOPOD, an excellent band of Death/Grind Metal which splitted after recorded a Demo Mini-CD.
Thus, the band start practising their compositions while training with some covers of Cult Black-Metal bands. But their principal wish was the recording of a full length album.
Due to a lack of time, Alucard leaves the band few weeks laters. But in despite of that, the band decides to continue in trio. So, ARTEFACT recorded his first demo with this formation in order to prepare their future opus.
First gigs and first Opus: Son Of Solstice :
A little time after this second demo (which obtains the excellent note of 18/20 in Innate'Zine), a new guitarist named Camille joins the band to complete the trio. This line-up prove itself during several gigs. In anno 2003, they finally manage to record the final version of "Son Of Solstice" with the help of Kallaghan for the production. Sly, a member of SHIMMER OF KAOS courtesy appears on vocals. This album contains rearranged old songs as well as new ones.
This cd enable the band to be recognized in France as well as in the Metal press and was elected as "Best Autoproduction" in the famous quarter Magazine named Metallian.
After this recording, ARTEFACT changes his line-up: Alucard remplaces Camille on the guitars whereas Runenlyd who used to sing and play guitar in his own band DEVIANCE holds the vacant role as vocalist.
Magic Spellcraft era :
This era marks the emergency of new songs which refine their style whereas maintain the basis of their music, they bring an even more emphasis into the Medieval/Fantasy aspects.
After all that, ARTEFACT was selected by Metallian to play at the Wacken Battle (the biggest Metal Festival) in August 2004.
They take advantage of this recognition and finish their next effort entitled "Magic Spellcraft", a melange of agressiveness, emotion and dark, epic atmospheres.
In crusade to spread the message everywhere, the band is ready to become the next leader in French Black Metal.
4) Artefact (The Netherlands)
History has proven that progress is what makes Artefact. Almost 10 years ago producer Maxim Schram started Artefact in his bedroom studio expressing his love for instrumental electronic music.
In 2000 Maxim met Shamangi. This vocalist with her roots in both Africa and Holland managed to take Artefact's music to another level with her beautiful voice. Encouraged to play more live by the people around him, Maxim asked drummer Paul van Gerven to join the band. After only 3 months (in December 2002) Artefact won the biggest music prize in the Netherlands, obviously called “The Grand Prize of the Netherlands” (de Grote prijs van NL).
After that the release of their EP “One of a Kind” was a fact and consequently Artefact toured around Holland with Lamb (UK). In 2004 the band signed with record label PIAS (Beef, Vitalic, Nits) and released their debut album “Addicted to your Goodies” in October of that year. The album featured contributions of artists like trumpet player Ryan Carniaux (USA), rapper Nemesiz (St. Martin) and scratch-dj Broky B.

Following the success, In the meantime Maxim made remixes for numerous bands like Beef, Lamb and Autumn.
In 2006 the band worked on their new album called CAFFEINE on which their sound evolved into a mash-up of funk, dance, rock and electronica. The beautifully intense voice of Shamangi is still leading and the influence of gear-junky Maxim Schram still plays an important role. Sometimes he seems to put every instrument through the mangler and then sometimes he let’s the beauty of the instrument speaks for itself. CAFFEINE is an extraordinary powerful and in your face album but not afraid to show its soft side with downtempo tracks where the band became famous with. CAFFEINE was released, February 2007.

Take My Time
Artefact Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before my feet
When summer leaves
I am complete
Nights in sweat I leave behind me
Days of shining agony
Now's your chance to finally find me
Take your time
Wait for my sign
Take your time
Wait for my sign
I'll take my time....anyway
M y time....anyway
Take your time
Wait for my sign
Over and over again
Keep moving and i'll tell you when.
Sometimes what i say
Isn't really what i mean
It's the truth for today
But different it has-been.
Must you point out this shortcoming
And tell me that the time is running.... Out
Don't you even make me start
About your artificial heart.
Do you realize
You're the devil in disguise
It's no surprise
Take your time
Wait for my sign
Over and over again
Keep moving and i'll tell you when.
Time changes everything
Time is overwhelming
Time makes me want you back
Time makes me turn my back
On you.
The opening lyrics of "Spinning leafs, Before my feet, When summer leaves, I am complete" suggest the arrival of summer, signifying the coming of happiness and completeness in the singer's life. However, when we move to the next verse "Nights in sweat I leave behind me, Days of shining agony, Now's your chance to finally find me, Do you catch my irony?" it becomes clear that while the arrival of summer meant the end of a difficult period, there is still some lingering agony, and the singer is inviting the listener to join them in experiencing it. The chorus "Take your time, Wait for my sign, I'll take my time" emphasizes the idea of patience and waiting for the right moment, which could mean waiting for the singer or for oneself to be ready. Additionally, the repetition of "Over and over again, Keep moving and I'll tell you when" suggests that the singer is leading and guiding the listener towards something. The next two verses explore the idea that what one says might not always reflect their true feelings and that there can be misunderstandings, leading to the breakdown of a relationship. The final verse suggests a struggle with time, with conflicting emotions of wanting someone back and wanting to turn away, which could be interpreted as a reference to the unpredictability of life and the passing of time.

The re-equip is there because you used to be able to unequip an artifact and then not be able to equip any artifact until your cool down is finished. So it's basically just a bug fix to allow you to at least use the artifact you selected for the cool down.
