We are DARKRIDE. We combine elements of Thrash and Progressive Metal with melodic Metalcore and Power Metal. Our contemporary style mix is reminiscent of Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Nevermore and Masterplan, paired with fresh ideas from the Metal underground. "It's sound for Metal fans like ourselves," our man Dirk (Guitars) points out. "Whether on stage, in the rehearsal room, or online, we just love making music together that is as diverse as all the bands we like to listen to."

Vocals
. . . favors horror flicks and bulking & cutting
"The energy was overwhelming. That's when we realized that we shouldn't record an EP but a full album. So there had to be more songs. And with »Hammer Down« everything just fit together. It's the perfect advance single."
Guitars
. . . likes to train, eat, sleep, repeat.

Electric & Acoustic Guitars
. . . loves business in front & party in the back (no mullets allowed!)
"Writing those riffs, recording them and finally listening to them in such a fat production is an incredibly awesome feeling. And having these killer guest musicians on board is hard to beat."
