Artist History
Darklands was formed in -92 by Ariel Sanga
(guitar), Robert Bergius (bass), Jani Erickson
(drums)& Erik Barthold (vocals). After a few
months the band split up and this could have been
the end of the Darklands-story. The band reunited
in autumn 1993 with a new drummer named Mċrten
Mangefors. Two songs were recorded for the
compilation cassette "Sundsvall Underground" in
April -94. The very same year the demotape
"Diablerie" was released and it was highly
praised in various zines, and of course by all
the rockers in the bands hometown, Sundsvall.
Another demo tape was actually recorded in 1995,
but it was never released, due to the fact that
Darklands got signed to the, at the time, young &
fresh record company - Heathendoom Music. In the
spring of -96 the debut three-track mini-CD
"Chronicles" was released with a the new drummer,
Paul, who also perticipated on recording the
full-length album. It shows everybody what kind
of band this is... Dark, emotional, gothic,
romantic music from the bottoms of the heart. On
live apperences, a guy called Grim sat behind the
drumset. The reason was that Paul suffered of
agoraphobia. The full-length album, simply
entitled "Darklands" was released -98. After
recording the album both Paul and Grim left the
band and were replaced by Jonas Wisén. Musically
Darklands is a cross between Type O´Negative,
The Doors & Danzig. |
