When you do a loop like that for elements of a list, it's usually done with a bits template.

So, my suggestion would be to have a template like so...

<li>$artist</li>

Then in the loop...

PHP Code:

$artistbits = '';
$artists = array('Metallica', 'Evanescence', 'Linkin Park', 'Guns n Roses');
// loop over it and print array elements
for ($x = 0; $x < sizeof($artists); $x++)
{
    $artist = $artists[$x];
    eval('$artistbits .= "' . fetch_template('artist_bit') . '";');
} 


Then later when you call the main tempate...

<ul>
$artistbits
</ul>

The problem you are having seems to be trying to display an object in the templates. But I'm not 100% sure. That's a guess.
