Biography

The german gothic metal band has six members, which have been active since 1992. They are special for their deep sound and complex lyrics.

Since 1992, DARKSEED have constantly been part of the German Gothic Metal Scene which they have decisively formed by releasing two innovative demos (Sharing the Grave 1992, Darksome Thoughts 1993) and their first real outputs (“Romantic Tales” Mini-CD 1994, “Midnight Solemnly Dance” CD 1996).

From the early beginnings the band tried and kept evolving, so it wasn’t surprising that the album “Spellcraft“ (1997, Nuclear Blast) - featuring sheer power and gloomy melodies - was well received, even internationally. Born in 1999 after extensive touring across Europe, the album “Give Me Light” (Nuclear Blast) prepared the way for further development, elaborated by the following releases: a catchy mixture between atmospheric electronics and attractive melodies. “Diving Into Darkness” (2000, Nuclear Blast) and “Astral Adventures” (2003, Massacre Records) as logical consequences attracted the interest of a broadly based worldwide audience.

After more than 10 dark years, some side-projects and therefore a remarkable number of releases, Stefan Hertrich, singer and founder of DARKSEED, indulged in a yearlong creative time-out - just to return in 2004, packed with a bundle of new songs and bursting of energy. The result: 13 songs, as usual produced by the band in guitarist Thomas Herrmann´s Helion Studios and self-confidently entitled “Ultimate Darkness”.

    Darkseed is my first metal band ever, I never listened to music before them, i just had no interest in it. They open metal gates for me and even now, when i know many awesome bands, Darkseed still are one of my alltime favorite, and Stefan's voice... i think he is a special vocalist for me, so aggressive and powerful, yet so beautiful.

    I did like Diving Into Darkness, thanks! I wish more bands existed that were "industrial death metal." Ultimate Darkness and Fear Factory's first album both slay hard and are just incredible with hints of industrial and death metal at times.
