In 1994, Eike Freese, Andre Schumann and Oliver Fliegel formed a death metal band called Dyer’s Eve. One year later the name was changed to Dark Age. The new name was inspired by a Vader song title, while their older one was inspired by a Metallica song title. In autumn 1995, they recorded their first demo Doubtful Existence. In December 1995, keyboarder Martin Reichert and in January 1996 guitarist Finn Dierks joined the band. Oliver Fliegel left the band in 1996. After Finn Dierks moved to the US he was replaced by Jorn Schubert. In Summer 1998, Dark Age recorded their first album entitled, The Fall. In 2000, the album Insurrection followed and they played at Wacken Open Air. If you havent heard Dark Age before then you will be blown away by the opening track “Trial By Fire”. Its a great track even though it comes with an odd and muffled blast-beat. They mix melodic death metal with the typical Gotheburg sound and if youre a fan of band such as Norther, Sentenced (Amok era), Without Grief then this is a band to check out
