This musical project began in summer 2021. Two people. Two different views on things combined into something more. The work on the debut album took almost three long years. But slowness helped to achieve the desired result in sound and overall concept of the album..
 
Genre? Good question. Basically it's heavy metal (of course) but also included more sub styles: from soft acoustic moments to aggressive extreme parts. Literally different colors of music. Debut Album “Road To Nothing” it's just the beginning of Artesea’s Adventure.
To be (definitely) continued … Much More Songs, Much More Albums.

LORRIDI is a Folk/Viking Power Metal one-man band by Jan Magne Garte. Taking inspiration from the sagas of the viking age and norse mythology, Garte creates vivid images of the old gods and warriors through his music and lyrics.

Born in Norway, 1971. At the age of 16, Jan Magne Garte played bass in different bands starting in the mid '80s. Growing in popularity and opening for some of the most popular Norwegian Rock bands at the time. By the early 2000s, Garte started expanding his repertoire by singing songs himself and switching from bass to guitar.

Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music, and his career as a musician   took a hiatus for almost two decades. Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under his own name. 
All tracks were composed, arranged, recorded and mastered by Garte himself.
