Dargaard

Man, awesome awesome band. Chamber/darkwave with dark, medival black metal influence. Mostly female vocals, occasional black rasps. If it weren't for the occasional song revolving around stuff like this:

"Fight for the wolf in your heart
Against the cross in your back"

I would own everything they ever put out.

And yes I understand the broad meaning of those songs, but they just choose, like many, to proclaim Christian faith as that freedom/wisdom inhibitor..naughty BM people.


But everything they have is amazing and - truly dark - music. My favorite song is probably 'Underworld Domain'.

yes..awesome band.


I actually built a rock retaining wall with the drummer in my band.. for a job we were doing...and we blasted some Dargaard all day... it felt like we were building a castle wall or seomthing with the Dargaard musik going. . The atmosphere in it is powerful.



Arcana is also very AWESOME>

Yesh, Dargaard is cool!

I like them both! Arcana and Daargard.
And the intro track on Crimson Moonlights EP is very great, (made by arcana)

The EP is like the only thing I ever really liked by that band. Yeah, they got way heavier later, but the songs stood out less for me. I guess I should try out their latest again or something. But I still need an original copy of 'Emperor'..

Some of the old Arcana albums used to put me in a trance when I listened to them.. haha.

I love both Dargaard and Arcana. One of my favourite Arcana songs is 'Innocent Child', it just blows me away...

I cant' remember the name of the song that still is my fav, btu ti was on a mcd, and had a picture of the female singer on top of a horse.

Hmm, I'm not sure which one you mean.

Has anybody here heard of other bands similar, such as Weltenbrand and Narsillion?
