The Artisan Era is an independent record label based out of Nashville Tennessee. The record label was co-founded in 2014 by Malcolm Pugh and Mike Low. The Artisan Era focuses primarily on extreme metal such as Melodic death metal, Technical death metal and Progressive Death metal.

About
Malcolm and Mike originally created the label so they could have total control over the creation, production and distribution of their own music. The Label was intended to release music for Malcolm's solo Technical death metal project A Loathing Requiem, Melodic Black metal band Oubliette, for which Mike plays guitar, and melodic/technical death metal band Inferi, which Malcolm and Mike both play guitar.

In 2017, The Artisan Era began signing other bands such as Virulent Depravity, Enfold Darkness, and Dark Matter Secret. The label had their first Billboard 200 charting release in 2019 from the debut album of Technical death metal band Equipoise, Demiurgus. Demiurgus peaked at #25 on the Top Heatseekers chart in March.

The Artisan Era have also re-released albums on vinyl for Black Crown Initiate, Spawn of Possession and The Zenith Passage.
