History

In 2016, Frontiers Records offered Jani Liimatainen to record and publish a new album. Liimatainen had then thought that he was going to work with a female vocalist, because the singers of his previous projects had been men. Frontiers soon informed him that Anette Olzon would be the one. Also included on this album are some new songs from 2004, never used before.

The project was announced on August 29, 2017. The debut self-titled album was released on November 10, 2017, recorded with bassist Jonas Kuhlberg and drummer Jani Hurula (members of Cain's Offering).[1]

The Dark Element gave its first show at the Sweden Rock Festival on June 7, 2018.

Their second album, Songs the Night Sings was released on November 8, 2019, recorded with new drummer Rolf Pilve (Stratovarius).[2]
