Dark Moor

…this is something that really makes you rub your ears in wonder. After the bombastic intro "The Ceremony" the opener "Somewhere In Dreams" sounds very promising, quite epic Power Metal of mid-heaviness, with the warm voice of Elisa. … It does sound different from the flavour-of-the-day-Power Metal that so (too) many labels still think is the best thing this scene could have discovered.

"Ancestral Romance" is the eighth full-length album by the Spanish power metal band Dark Moor, released on 24 November 2010. The album isn't without its faults, fortunately they are only minor problems and don't really distract from the enjoyment. "Ancestral Romance" is a highly enjoyable record and is a worthy addition to any power metal fan's collection, particularly those of you with a penchant for the symphonic.

"Beyond The Sea" is the band's fifth album and the second featuring almost a new line-up except founder and main composer Enrik Garcia. With that involuntary change, a relatively young band went through its second birth. Not being quite unparalleled on today's metal stage, these Spaniards still make good Power Metal albums measurably spiced with some symphonic elements. Certainly they couldn't escape the common lot of imitating some pathfinders of the genre, yet they managed to develop their own sound distinguishing them from the rest.

2013 release the ninth album for the Symphonic Power Metal masters! A monumental Power/Symphonic album made of beautiful melodies, elaborate arrangements and top notch musicianship featuring talented singer Alfred Romero's most inspired and powerful performance to date Produced by Luigi Stefanini (Rhapsod y Of Fire, Labyrinth, Vision Divine). Limited slipcase edition includes two bonus tracks.
