Origin: Norway Status: Active Last Update: August 16, 2002
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 are doing some live work, though it is unknown if there are any recording plans in their future.
