Founded early in 2011 by Cristian Bettendorf, Darkness Light has found a specific melodic hard rock sound and style after Dixie Krauser joined the project by the end of 2011 and together Cristian and Dixie started writing and recording music in the studio.

Cristian who contributes with the hard & heavy aggressive influences has found his musical kindred spirit with Dixie who brings more than four decades of musical experience and the bluesy and fusion influences to form the band musical style. At end of 2011 they deliberately decided to drive the work for their debut album as duo and play all instruments in the studio without involving additional session musicians. The fusion of their performances, Dixie’s arrangements with classical and also some Balkan music (traditional music of southeastern Europe) touch, melted up in the specific Darkness Light style and sound. Luckily the duo show a variation of influences, from Cristian's New Wave of British Heavy Metal background to Dixie's Hendrix, Doors and Cream influences converged together into fresh and very diverse compositions which have all a common denominator.

The debut multi-faceted 'Living With The Danger' album offers everything from hard-edge guitar walls to epic melodic hard rock, from stadium rock to ballads. The sound and complex orchestrations with countless guitar melodies and keyboard textures are used as glue between all ten tracks. The studio work started at end of 2011 but due Dixie's severe illness, there was a delay around two years. After Dixie finally recovered at end of 2014, the band resumed the work in studio and was able to release the 'Living With The Danger' album in July 2015.
Currently Darkness Light has enough musical material for new albums, however the focus for the near future is to complete the line up with additional great musicians for live performances.
