Artica

The Profile

Italian band from Rome described in reviews as part of the gothic metal/dark music scene; by 2006 they had about a decade of experience and released the album Plastic Terror (2006).

A 2008 review of Artica's 2006 album Plastic Terror describes the record as uneven: several powerful, atmospheric gothic-metal tracks stand out while other songs leave the reviewer unimpressed. The reviewer praises tracks like "Black Eyes", the title track and "Ocean", but criticizes the two Italian-language songs. Overall rating in the review: 3/5.
