Darkwater was formed late 2003 in the western parts of Sweden. During the first years of existence they only did a few selected shows in Sweden while working on the material for their debut album. During summer and fall 2006, Darkwater recorded and mixed the album, and early 2007 a deal was inked with the Swedish label Ulterium Records.

The album was recorded in different studios around in the western parts of Sweden, to reach the highest result possible. The mixing was handled by Peter Seather [A.C.T, Skyfire etc.] at Studio Underground, and the mastering was done by no other than Göran Finnberg [In Flames, The Haunted, Dark Tranquillity etc.] at Mastering Room.

Darkwater have created a melodic metal masterpiece, with the just right amount of progressive metal influences. If you like melodic metal, and progressive metal bands like Symphony X, Dream Theater, you will most definitely highly appreciate "Calling the earth to witness".
