Well, metal/pinch harmonics you are quartering the length of the string, so you get a higher note, plus you are picking and "fretting" the harmonic right next to eachother, you have the right metal distortion on, etc.
If you get your pick attack and your tone down, you can old school 2,2.5,4,5,7,9th and 12th fret harmonics sound pretty unnatural as well. Just listen to Bauhaus of Big Black.
Artificial harmonics are a misnomer I believe, because you are still playing a natural harmonic. It is just called that because it is untraditional and sounds unnatural.
