Info
During the *Hangnagerfete* in Iphofen in July 2004 Anja, Alex and Sven (Alaska Fire) decided to start a musical
collaboration and to found a new band. Only in September 2004 they found the right musicians they had been looking for.
And so first of all Frank of Double U See joined the band as their new solo guitarist. Some time later Klaus of Green Hell,
with whom they already had stayed in touch before, followed him as a drummer. In the middle of October the post
of the bass player was taken by Benjamin of Alaska Fire and so the band was complete.
First the band thought about calling themselves *Chane*, but then they had to realize that this name was already
protected by copyright.
After more than one week of pondering Frank had the idea to call the band *Darken* what means *sich verdunkeln/dunkel machen* in German. As every man has a certain dark part we decided to take this name and DARKEN were born.
After we had finished the songwriting for the first cd, people could listen to our first demo tapes on mp3.de or on our homepage. We got positive RESONANZEN without exception. The song *No More Lies* kept position for six weeks under the Top 5 of the Metal Download Charts on mp3.de. With 2000 previews and some more than 1000 downloads success arrived very surprisingly, but it confirmed the harmonious method of working of the band members.
Fortunately the track *Invisible Me* was able to beat these statistics, also this song kept position one of the Metal Charts several times on mp3.de.
In the beginning of 2005 Frank decided to priorit..ten lenken auf a cover band. He and the band, however, noticed pretty soon that a part of the band had died with his loss. Although the rest of the band tested some candidates for the post of the solo guitarist, they didn't find the right person. In the middle of the year 2005 Frank decided definitely to stay.
In the beginning of 2006 the band is going to publis their first cd *Beginning Of Our Fate*. The recording of the drums were done in the Soundcube Studios in Bamberg.
After some line-up changes in late 2006, the band has played their first gigs with the new singer Aniko, new guitar player Los Nickos Gitarros & the new bass player Markus, in March 2007. The are working on their second demo cd, 4 demosongs are done by now.

Howdy!
Just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up on Sommersby's October Competition!
If you haven't already heard, the competition (hot on the heels of his recent neck-in-neck September fiesta) will offer 20 parts for the winner and is open to all artists that have between $9999 and $0 in budget.
Please check the forum for updates on contest rules and regs….starts 25 October!
This is a great opportunity for you. Campaign with the believers to let them know you'd like to be nominated and encourage them to vote for you when the time comes.
Of course, if you'd like to, or you know someone who would like to, donate parts for the prizes in the Competition, just send (or have them send) Sommersby the details under a message marked “October Donation."
Hope you join in on the fun and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
