Band: Darkness

German Thrash metal band formed in Essen in December 1984. Their music was similar to that of contemporary german bands Destruction and Kreator and got progressively more technical with time, without loosing its classic thrash aggression. After a row of demos and three full-length studio albums they finally split up in 1993. Their album "Defenders Of Justice" was re-released by Laserlight Records under the new title "Broken Heart" in 1991.
Two of their vocalists have passed away, Oliver Fernickel died of a heart attack in 1998 and Rolf Druschel in 2004.
