Немецкая Viking Metal-группа XIV Dark Centuries ("14 Темных Веков") создана в 1998 году в Тюрингии. В состав группы вошли: Michel (вокал), Marley (бас-гитара), Roman (гитара), Uwe (гитара), Tobi (клавишные), Rüd (ударные). Первой работой стало демо "For Your God" в 1998 году, после которого последовали концерты с Menhir и Apokalyptischen Reitern. В 2000 году группа выступила на PartySan Open Air.
В июне 2002 года была закончена запись второго демо-диска, "Dunkle Jahrhunderte", содержащего новые и ранее неизданные песни. С конца 2002 года по март 2003 года XIV Dark Centuries вели работу в студии. Шла запись первого полноформатного альбома под названием "…den Ahnen zum Gruße..". Диск включал в себя 13 треков, уклон был сделан в сторону Pagan Metal, партии и исполнение стали сложнее.2003 - ...den Ahnen zum Grusse [CD-Maximum, CDM 1103-1598, Russia]
