Darna was born in September 1998 in Oviedo (Asturias) with a history and some melodies. Dani and Ruth began to develop a project, which in a very short time became a reality. Soonly joined Alvaro Jardón (bass) and Rafael Yugueros (drums) giving life to the songs they had composed.

An intense promotion generated great anticipation to see this new band, commented thet it could be the Spanish revelation band in 2003, and they gave their first concert out of their land.

It was in September of that same year when Darna presented Fonso, a new member of the band that came to meet the march of the previous bassist. From here, Darna offered numerous concerts that would lead them throughout Spain, showing that Darna was mostly a 'live band'.

Their last concert was in June, 2003, at which time the band was in the recording studios, pre-productiing their second album scheduled for September 2003, but they couldn't release it till December, 2003. "II" was their second album filled with strong rhythms and melodies.
