Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is a German Underground-Black Metal band from Dormagen, founded in 1997 by Onielar and Ariovist. Today the Band is made up off Onielar (voc, git), Velnias (Git), Horrn (Drums), and is currently seeking a new bass-guitarist.

DNS is playing a raw and fast version of old-school Black Metal, combined with Onielar's witchery voice, making the Sound of DNS idiosyncratic. The lyrics expectorated by her are dealing with themes like satanism and nihilism. DNS is in dead earnest with their lyrics and opinions about life and society and is NOT practising show-satanism or poser-misanthropy.

This leads to the point that many people listing to main-stream (black) metal, still strongly linked with the main stream society, are making fun of DNS.
In a row of this DNS is still a underground band, making true Black Metal, which soundes like Norway's Black Metal in the early 90s - the second wave of Black Metal.
DNS is deprecating all influences from other typs of Metal, which infiltrated Black Metal in former times.

DNS is realising all CDs by themselves:
1999 The Pest Called Humanity
2001 Follow the Calls for Battle
2004 Nocturnal March
2006 Hora Nocturna
