With ARTUS, Schandmaul once again demonstrate their organically grown skills over the years, and so every song on ARTUS forms a close-knit unity of music and word, whereby this musical carpet of images is woven from many familiar as well as completely new refreshing timbres to a flawless overall picture. The grandiose sound is due both to years of experience and to the production of Fabio Trentini, who is known for productions such as Guano Apes, Donots and H-Blockx. This time the mix was put into the competent hands of Ronald Prent (Rammstein, Depeche Mode, Iron Maiden), the mastering was done by the triple Grammy winner Darcy Proper (R.E.M., Johnny Cash, Toto).
This time, Schandmaul also uses their own graphic strengths. Thus the cover of ARTUS comes from the graphic arts of singer Thomas Lindner himself.
