Dargaard was founded by Tharen (Abigor, Amestigon, Heidenreich, dominion) in 1997. The band was his opportunity to step away from his usual genre(Black Metal) and experiment with a different approach to express attitudes and feelings.
With Elisabeth Toriser (Abigor, Antichrisis, Dominion), who took over the vocal responsibilties in 1998, Dargaard was able to successfully complete the recording of theire debut Cd,"Eternity Rites", released by Napalm Records under the Draenor Productions banner in October 1998.
August the following has Dargaard back in the studio. The follow up to "Eternity Rites" remains within Dargaard`s signature style and promise to prove once again their undeniable skill in creating superior melodies and atosphere. "In Nomine Aeternitatis" was out on 06.03.2000.
June 2001 welcomed Dargaard's third recording effort, the "Dissolution of Eternity". This CD has been described as having reached a milestone in innovative darkwave.
