Artificial Language is an American progressive metal band from Fresno, California[1] founded in late 2015 by guitarists Victor Corral and Charlie Robbins, bassist Josh Riojas, keyboardist Jonathon Simpson and drummer Jeron Schapansky, all hailing from the Central Valley area. Vocalist Shay Lewis, from Rhode Island, joined them later.[1][4]

Songs are primally written by Robbins, with the remaining members adding their inputs. Lewis and Corral write the vocal melodies and concepts.[5] They cite Steven Wilson, Between the Buried and Me, Dream Theater, and Danny Elfman as influences.[5][4]
