Their debut album Mysticeti Victoria (2012) was mixed and mastered at the legendary Finnvox Studios in Finland and released through Massacre Records. In 2015, the band signed with Scarlet Records and recorded The Modern Age, produced by Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Epica, Volbeat).
In 2020, DARKTRIBE returned with Voici l’Homme, mixed and mastered by Damien Rainaud (Dragonforce, Fear Factory), further refining their powerful and emotional sound.
After drummer Julien Agnello departed in 2023, Guillaume Morero joined the band. Together, they composed and recorded their upcoming fourth album, Forgotten Reveries, mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studios (Wind Rose, Vision Divine, Twilight Force) marking a new creative era for DARKTRIBE.
