Dargaard
''Dargaard'' is an Austrian neoclassical dark wave band formed in 1997. Typically in dark and somber moods, the music of ''Dargaard'' presents medieval and folk-like melodies, often orchestrated through the use of various instrument patches from a keyboard. The band has four releases at this time. Band history ''Dargaard'' was founded by Alexander "Tharen" Opitz in 1997. Tharen had already played a prominent role in several underground bands by this time, including ''Abigor'' and ''Amestigon'', both black metal bands and '' Dominion III'', an industrial music act. Tharen was the keyboard player in ''Abigor'', but ''Amestigon'', ''Dominion III'' and ''Dargaard'' are entirely his projects. ''Dargaard'' was born out of Tharen's desire to move away from black metal and express himself through more ambient and classical music. Also joining the band was Elisabeth Toriser as vocalist. Elisabeth was the vocalist in ''Dominion III'' and was also involved in the band ''Antichrisis''; ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

After Soth died in '' World of Krynn'' (1988), the character "then made the jump to '' Ravenloft: Realm of Terror'', and was quickly lined up as the star of the second ''Ravenloft'' novel.

Neoclassical Dark Wave
Dark wave, or darkwave, is a music genre that emerged from the new wave and post-punk movement of the late 1970s. Dark wave compositions are largely based on minor key tonality and introspective lyrics and have been perceived as being dark, romantic and bleak, with an undertone of sorrow. Common features include the use of chordophones such as electric and acoustic guitar, violin and piano, as well as electronic instruments such as synthesizer, sampler and drum machine. Like new wave, dark wave is not considered an "unified genre but rather an umbrella term" that encompasses a variety of musical styles, including cold wave,Schilz, Andrea: ''Flyer der Schwarzen Szene Deutschlands: Visualisierungen, Strukturen, Mentalitäten.''
