The day it all began...

Artical is a Greek-German based band and is best known for its Progressive/Neoclassical/Melodic Power Metal sound.

Created by Mike Dimareli (Guitar) on September 2002, Artical releases its first Full Length Instrumental album two years after, named FANTASY (2004).

In 2007, in collaboration with Burning Star Records Label, Bob Katsionis (FIREWIND) as the guest keyboardist and Bill Aksiotis (vocals), the band releases its 2nd full length album HORIZON.

After the successful release of Horizon, the band called the attention of the legendary Mark Boals (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, RING OF FIRE, DOKKEN) who recorded for the 3rd Artical’s full length album ILLUSION X (2013).

After a 6-year break, Mike Dimareli (Guitar) brought together Angelos Gerogiannis (Keyboards) and Giorgos Matzidis (Drums), reactivating the band in the city of Athens, Greece.

As an official band statement, Artical will reunite with Mark Boals, who will record the 4th full length album of the band, with an early 2021 relase date!
