dArtagnan is a German music group that has carved out a unique niche within the folk rock and Neue Deutsche Härte scenes, with a notable influence from historical and traditional themes. Formed in Nuremberg in 2015, their name pays homage to the famous character from Alexandre Dumas' novel "The Three Musketeers," which sets the tone for their swashbuckling musical style, often referred to as "Musketier-Rock" due to its blend of rock music with historical elements reminiscent of the 17th century musketeers.

Their music is characterized by rousing melodies and rich storytelling, often incorporating traditional instruments alongside electric guitars and modern rock elements. dArtagnan's tales of adventure, love, and camaraderie resonate with fans of folk metal and those fascinated by historical narratives. Key releases like "Hey Brother" and "Felsenfest" exhibit their signature sound—an anthemic fusion that invites listeners to raise their glasses and sing along to tales of yore. Collaborations with artists such as The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats, Luc Arbogast, and Candice Night & Blackmore's Night highlight their willingness to bridge genres and experiment with their sound, while songs like "Merseburger Zauberspruch" and "Pesnya Mushketerov (Das Lied der Musketiere)" showcase their connection to historical and cultural themes. With both studio recordings and live performances like "Feuer & Flamme LIVE" capturing the energy and passion of their music, dArtagnan has solidified their place in the folk rock musical landscape as bearers of the musketeer's spirited legacy.
