Gaëlle D. (violin) joined the band in September 2003 and it was the beginning of an adventure. Together they composed the demo "L'aube morne", recorded by Loïc C. (from the band Belenos) and released in November 2004. In December 2005, Artesia signed a deal with Prikosnovenie, a French label specialized in dark atmospheric music. The first album "Hilvern" was released in February 2006; in June 2007 they released their second album, "Chants d’Automne" (Loïc C. played guitar and percussion on both albums).
In 2008 the line-up changes: Gaëlle leaves the band for personal reasons, Loïc C. becomes a real member and Coralie L.-C., a young violinist, joins them too. "Llydaw", the third album is out in February 2009.
In September 2009, former member Gaëlle decided to come back in Artesia whereas Coralie (who played the violin on "Llydaw") left the band. In December 2011 they released their fourth album "Wanderings" with the help of Jean-Charles Wintrebert (orchestrations and mix).

Chant d'Automne
Artesia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dans une clairière secrète
Chante la belle Dame Fée
Elle chante les mystères
Les ombres et la beauté
Et tout autour ils l'écoutent
Bientôt l'hiver sera là
Etendant son froid linceul
Entendez le chant d'automne
Il file pareil au vent
Pourtant toujours il résonne
Quand givre et neige seront là
Vous serez tous endormis
Seule ma voix résonnera
The lyrics to Artesia's song "Chant d'automne" describe an autumn setting where the beautiful Lady Fairy is singing in a secret clearing under the moonlight. The Lady Fairy's song is about the mysteries of nature, the shadows and the beauty that surround us. Her audience listens attentively, as winter is approaching fast, and it will soon spread its cold, icy blanket over the world. The Lady Fairy will then have to leave, and her enchanting voice will echo in their memories.
The lyrics focus on the transience of life and the beauty of nature. The Lady Fairy represents a fleeting moment of beauty that will soon disappear. Her song is a reminder of the inevitable passing of time and the changes that come with each season. The song also evokes a sense of mystery and magic, which is associated with autumn, as it is a time when the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be thinnest.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to the autumn season and reminds the listener to appreciate the beauty of nature and the fleeting moments of life before they are gone.
