Darkseed, beginning as a death metal band, took a more unconventional song writing method that aimed more towards the gothic experimental route.
Serenades Records release Darkseed's first studio album, Midnight Solemnly Dance in 1996, in which they changed into a gothic metal act.
[3] Lead vocalist Stefan Hertrich left the band in 2003, only to return in 2004 to make "Ultimate Darkness", which was released in 2005.
On 24 June 2008, on their official website, Darkseed announced that they would reunite to appear live at the Helion Festival on October 4, 2008.
They also have an influence from industrial metal music, as two of the members stated to be fans of Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein.
