Dark Age is a German melodic death metal band from Hamburg, Germany formed in 1994 by Eike Freese (guitar, vocals), André Schumann (drums) and Oliver Fliegel (bass).
In 1994, Eike Freese, André Schumann and Oliver Fliegel formed a death metal band called Dyer's Eve. One year later the name was changed to Dark Age.
The new name was inspired by a Vader songtitle, while their older one was inspired by a Metallica songtitle. In autumn 1995, they recorded their first demo Doubtful Existence. In December 1995, keyboarder Martin Reichert and in January 1996 guitarist Finn Dierks joined the band. Oliver Fliegel left the band in 1996. After Finn Dierks moved to the US he was replaced by Jörn Schubert.
In Summer 1998, Dark Age recorded their first album entitled, The Fall, which was released after a contract with Remedy Records. In 2000, the album Insurrection followed and they played at Wacken Open Air. In 2002, the album The Silent Republic was recorded in the Stage One-studio. In 2003, they founded their own studio and played again at Wacken Open Air with more than 5000 spectators.
In 2003 Dark Age released their demo songs collection EP Remonstrations. They re-recorded their first demo songs. As a comparison they also included the original demo versions of the songs. Except for the first song which is a re-recording of a track from The Fall.
In 2004, their self-titled album Dark Age was recorded and released. One year later, the DVD Live, So Far... was recorded in the Markthalle in Hamburg. In 2006, Thorsten Eggert left the band and Alex Henke joined. In 2008 the album Minus Exitus was released.
Their sixth full-length album Acedia was released in November 2009.

Modern metal outfit Dark Age has come up with a new way to create a music video. Via their MySpace page, they have asked their fans to submit video clips of "yourself going crazy" to the song "10 Steps to Nausea," off their most recent full length "Acedia." Once Dark Age has compiled the clips they will construct a full music video out of them. The full post is below:
"Hi friends,
We are launching a very special video contest and we need your help!!!
The idea:
We are planning to do a videoclip for the song "10 Steps to Nausea" from our current album ACEDIA.
Different from the normal (and usually boring) performance clips you see every day we want our fans to be a part of the clip.
- How? -
Just switch on your webcam (or a digi cam) and film yourself going crazy to "10 Steps to Nausea". Use your imagination, YOU can do a crazy performance clip alone or with your friends or even go outdoors and film something crazy. Whatever comes to your mind is welcome.
After filming the stuff please inform us at nausea@dark-age.de with a short discription of your video.
We will get back to you with further instructions.
Please DO NOT send anything without notification!
After receiving your filmed material we want to compile all the stuff and hope to present you a very unique clip including YOU!
So, tell it to your friends, switch on your cam and let the madness beginn!!!
We are really looking foreward to your ideas!
DARK AGE"
