We love making music
together that is as diverse as
all the bands we like to listen to

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."
