History (4/5)
Unfortunately we
had no deal in Europe at the time, and the album didn't sell too
well. Grunge-metal was very "hot" this period, and we
felt ARTCH was more or less a "has been band." The album
was released in US, Japan and Norway, and we did a few gigs in
Norway and Iceland.
During 1991 the
band sort of faded out on it's own, and no one put any effort into
the band anymore. We did our last gig in our hometown
christmas-93, and already we had been split up for more or less
two years.
In november-99 we
got a call from Michael Trengert at Metal Blade EU. They were
eager to release our two albums again. We were amazed and honored at the same time. We did a gig in Oslo regarding Scream's 50th.
edition anniversary. We were overwhelmed with the response we got.
This time we need
a replacement for our drummer Jørn, because he had a different situation
now. We asked our long time friend Gudmund Bolsgård, and he fit
perfectly in the band.
