Of Artistry

Of Artistry is progressive metalcore band based out of Vancouver, Canada.

Established in 2012 by Conner Lawless, Chad Jones, and Devon Van Andel. Of Artistry became the source of any music that was written by Lawless, Jones and Van Andel post high-school. Turning into a life long passion for energetic, melodic metal.

Growing up in the Greater Vancouver area, the band took the first three years to self produce their first record, “Our Story”. Which led to the love of self producing, writing, and recording.

Of Artistry went on to release two singles between 2017-2019 and one record with vocalist Kenny Alvarez (released after the departure of Alvarez in 2020). “The Casino Disease” revision, and “You Suck" featuring Myke Terry of Volumes.

“Hell or up Above” was then released in 2022. A powerful vocal collab of Kenny Alvarez and Conner Lawless. Self-produced, and engineered.

A documentary short film was released on YouTube in 2022 about the process of the album, and history of the album process. Followed by an acoustic rendition of the album in its entirety being released in 2023.

The band dived heavily into playing within the metal/hardcore scene of Vancouver, BC. Having now branched out on multiple mini-tours, a self-headlined tour for the release of “You Suck”, and even an opening act for the headlining band Born of Osiris.
