Artch  

Another Return's brand of classy, accessible power metal created a buzz when it was first released, and big things were predicted for the Norwegian band with the Icelandic vocalist. But three years elapsed before the followup came out, and it lacked much of what made the debut a fine album, and the band broke up shortly thereafter. Perhaps a victim of the numbers game, as ultimately Artch failed to really put a stamp of originality on their music. The name of the band was actually an acronym for one of their songs, "Another Return To Church Hill".

Around 1999 the band came back together, with a new drummer. Their two albums have since been re-released by Metal Blade, and they also put out a DVD in 2004, though they haven't done much since. On a trivial note, the aforementioned Icelandic vocalist, Eirikur Hauksson, competed in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006 (normally not associated with metal in any respect, though Lordi changed all that), reaching the semifinals.
