Initially formed in 1983 by guitarist Cato André Olsen and bass player Bernt Jansen, in 1984 guitarist Geir Nilssen, drummer Jørn Jamissen and vocalist Lars Fladeby all joined the band but they had formerly been with a local rock group called Oxygen. Espen Hoff replaced Mr. Fladeby as lead singer in 1985 but he died in a motorcycle accident later that same year and was replaced by Eiríkur Hauksson in 1986. Artch released two albums on USA label Metal Blade that got great reviews, especially in the English heavy metal press, but sales were disappointing. Drummer Jamissen left the band in 1991 and was replaced by Gudmund Bolsgård. They reformed in 2000 after a prolonged period of inactivity. The original lineup was again reunited summer 2010.

  • Artch is een Noorse powermetalband. De band werd in 1982 in Sarpsborg opgericht door leadzanger Espen Hoss. Hij werd later vervangen door Eirikur Hauksson nadat Hoss omkwam bij een dodelijk ongeluk. De band bracht twee albums uit bij het label Metal Blade, Another Return en For The Sake Of Mankind. Kort geleden hebben ze deze albums opnieuw uitgebracht in Europa. In 2000 kwamen ze weer bij elkaar nadat ze lange tijd uit elkaar waren geweest. Door kenners worden ze muzikaal vaak vergeleken met Iron Maiden.
  • Artch er et norsk power metal-band fra Sarpsborg. Bandet ble startet i 1983 av Cato André Olsen og Bernt Jansen. I 1984 ble Geir Nilssen, Jørn Jamissen og vokalist Lars Fladeby med, alle fra et annet lokalt band under navnet «Oxygen». Espen Hoss erstattet Fladeby som vokalist i 1985, men ble drept senere samme år i en motorsykkelulykke på vei til bandøving. Islandske Eiríkur Hauksson ble med som ny vokalist i 1986. I 1987 spilte de inn sitt debutalbum i Borg Lydstudio i Sefasenteret. Albumet fikk god mottakelse da det ble utgitt i 1988, spesielt blant britiske musikkjournalister, og de fikk toppkarakter i både Kerrang og Metal Forces. Another Return to Church Hill blir i dag regnet som en klassiker innen sjangeren både i Norge og i utlandet. LP-utgaven kom med to forskjellige omslag, ett for Norge/Europa, og ett for USA. Oppfølgeralbumet For the Sake of Mankind ble utgitt i USA, Japan og Norge, men solgte lite. Etter kun to musikkalbum ble bandet oppløst i 1991, men ble gjenforent igjen i 2000.
