History & Biography Hagen’s own Darth was founded in January of 1995 by Adam and Matthias and already had gone through several members changes (bassists Michael Kusch and Flo Von Bargen and drummers Dennis Rode, Daniel Robe and Tobi Seibel) before issuing 2001’s debut demo. Darth had also appeared on the very sexy Let's Camp Together compilation in 1996. Due to an instable line-up the band was practically on hiatus in 1998 and 1999. Poland’s Crude Entertainment issued the group’s debut album in 2003. It was produced by guitarist Klinkmann.
Reviews DARTH - BUTTFUCKED BY DESTINY - CRUDE 
Darth is pretty much as underground it gets. The group has all the necessary credentials being German death metal, releasing through Crude Entertainment, growling until armageddon and not touring. Never mind any of that because the band deserves a good rating from Metallian just for the album’s name and the cover model. The gentleman on the cover would be any man’s instant dream husband anyway (if he could show a large bank account anyway).
Buttfucked By Destiny is standard mid-paced death metal with the occasional stretch of speed. The songs are mostly from the band’s demos. The heavy riffs and the stop-n-go patterns are not much different from Obituary, although the entire underground DIY feeling of the band is more centred on the tradition of bands like Blood. Songs are deliberately simple without solos or technical breaks, etc. It is no frills and proud of it too. - Anna Tergel
