Depends what you want to do.  If you only want this domain to redirect to 
the above URL and you don't care where the rest points, you can simply do 
a redirect by setting up lists.metalartists.org as a virtual host and 
putting in an alias for /

If you want all of Mailman to appear under this host, you will probably 
want to also use these aliases:

Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/
Alias /images/mailman/ /usr/share/images/mailman/
ScriptAlias /admin /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/admin
ScriptAlias /admindb /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/admindb
ScriptAlias /confirm /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/confirm
ScriptAlias /create /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/create
ScriptAlias /edithtml /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/edithtml
ScriptAlias /listinfo /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
ScriptAlias /options /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/options
ScriptAlias /private /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/private
ScriptAlias /rmlist /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/rmlist
ScriptAlias /roster /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/roster
ScriptAlias /subscribe /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/subscribe
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/

Edit the above paths if your Mailman installation is somewhere different.

You'll also want to put the following in mm_cfg.py:

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'metalartists.org'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.metalartists.org'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/'

I got this info from the apache.conf fragment that ships with the Mailman 
Debian package.

Hope this helps,
Geoff.
