The band was founded in Nuremberg in 2015 by singer Benjamin Metzner, who also plays the
mandolin,
bagpipes and flute, guitarist and background singer Felix Fischer, and by guitarist and singer Tim Bernard. Metzner and Fischer, who have been friends since they were young, played together in the
medieval rock band
Feuerschwanz. This was followed by a recording contract with
Sony Music Entertainment and the production of an album by producer
Thomas Heimann-Trosien, who had already produced albums for
Schandmaul,
Nightwish and
In Extremo. The trio's debut album,
Seit an Seit, was released on 26 February 2016, and it went to number 7 in the
German album charts. The band also made the charts in Austria and Switzerland. In the same year, the debut album was released a second time as a "Gold Edition" with additional tracks and an additional live CD. On April 16, 2016, the trio played at the
Feste der Volksmusik folk festival in
Halle, which was broadcast on TV by
ARD and
ORF. In May, the band toured Germany headlining thirteen concerts. The three founding members are supported live by Haiko Heinz (as the successor to Feuerschwanz member Hans Platz) on guitar, Sebastian Baumann on bass and Matthias Böhm on drums. In December 2017, Felix Fischer announced his departure from the bands Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan. He was replaced by Gustavo Strauss, who added a violin to the band. On the single "We're Gonna Be Drinking" from
Felsenfest (2022) the band made a collaboration with
Candice Night from
Blackmore's Night, that Blackmore's Night previously had made a version of on their 2003 album
Ghost of a Rose called "All for One". On March 1, 2024, the band released a music video for the song "Ruf der Freiheit" ==Musical style==
