Since 2000 and more than 400 concerts, after 20 years of exploring their memories, trying to remember things they never known, Artús members have been creating their unique sound, emancipating from tradition dogma. Artús has questioned his work from "ultralocal"
[music, songs, dances and instruments from Pyrenees mountains and Landes forest] to achieve an universal vision of the world. Radical, raw and indomitable, they draw their energy from noise and progressive rock, experimental & industrial music with Gascony culture, poets, legends & instrumentarium. Rooted to the future, they opened for Gong, Gojira or The Ex, and owns their DIY production company "Hart Brut", recording studio "La Ferronnerie" and record label "Pagans" in the Bearn region, south-west France. They released their last album CERC in march 2020, are working on CREC, the 2nd movement in 2021.
In 2022, aware to be at the end of a journey, they decided to split to let come new projects and ideas and did a farewell tour with a great gig at
Hellfest Open Air Festival in Clisson on june 2022 and a ultimate special concert in their city Pau on 17 september 2022...
"Anyone who still thinks that "folk" or "traditional" must only ever equate to "acoustic, easy-listening" may find this an uncomfortable, even confrontational experience, while for those actively engaged in seeking new ways of traditional cultural expression, this could well prove an exhilarating, inspiring record."
Steve Hunts in fROOTS
"If there is one thing about Artús that one could call predictable, it is the emergence of the unexpected. A traditionally-based tune might veer off into pounding industrial rhythms, or angular post-punk, ... The group might kill a riff to death, and then kill it again… But one never knows, and this is what makes listening to the group's music exhilarating."
