Darkane (formerly known as Agretator) is a heavy metal band from Helsingborg, Sweden. Formed in 1998[2], its style has ranged from thrash metal to death metal while occasionally adding symphonic elements to its music, such as full orchestras, choir singing, and acoustic interludes. The name Darkane is a portmanteau of the words "dark" and "arcane".
On October 6th, 2007 it was announced that Darkane are writing new material for their fifth studio album. It is expected for release in March 2008. Peter Wildoer has posted this message on his website:
"This coming winter we will start recording Darkane's fifth record. We have about nine songs ready. We were hoping to enter the studio earlier but in typical Darkane bad luck, our studio got flooded and badly damaged. So now we're looking for a new location for the studio and as soon as we find that we need to rebuild the studio which takes a lot of time. Hopefully we will start recording around Christmas (fingers crossed). In some weeks, we'll start working on the mix of the upcoming Darkane DVD. I just hope the DVD will be released early next year".
Darkane's only full-length DVD was shot in May 2006 in the band's hometown of Helsingborg, Sweden.
