History & Biography
The band was founded in the south of France in 2008. The act called itself metal, but had keyboards thus revealing its Dimmu Borgir and Emperor influences. The band touched on themes relating to castles and strongholds. Two members were also in Continuum. An independent split with Fhoi Myore was issued in 2009. Another split was with Naastrand just before that band split up. A Passage To The Towers… was the debut album and released in 2010. The trio was singer Cervantes, guitarist, bassist and keyboardist Aldébaran (a guitar teacher) and drummer and keyboardist Aboth. The band began utilising live musicians as well. Concerts included ones with Fhoi Myore and Angmar in 2013.

Les Acteurs De l'Ombre Productions repressed the band's music in 2018. The act was billed at Cernunnos Pagan Fest and Hellfest 2018. The group was also booked for Ladlo Fest in 2022. Darkenhöld had an album entitled Le Fleau Du Rocher through Les Acteurs De L’Ombre Productions in June 2025.

'Darkenhold' was the name of a Bal-Sagoth song from the Starfire Burning Upon The Ice-Veiled Throne Of Ultima Thule album.
