I only have their latest album 'Tarot' and i must say that i am really impressed. It is such a brilliant album, and reading what everyone has said in this forum makes me wanna check out some of their old stuff with their old singer, i look forward to it

On the 'Tarot' album my favourite songs would have to be 'Lovers' and 'Devil In The Tower', its just an all round great album

|m|(>_<)|m|

Try to find "Hall Of The Olden Dreams" and "Gates Of Oblivion" , true masterpieces, 2 of the best power metal albums ever.

About their later albums with Alfred on vocals, i have to say that i never liked them. Alfred's voice is good but maybe there are some problems with the music, it just goes boring after the first few songs

I still have to hear Hall Of The Olden Dreams, but i agree 'Gates Of Oblivion' is awesome. I also like their EP (though almost an album) 'Between Light And Darkness', its not really metal, but still has that distinct sound, quite orchestrated and Symphonic.

I haven't heard whole Tarot yet

Yeah righto i will do that. Dark Moor are great with Alfred i think he is great with this band, but thats just my opinion
I dont think the Tarot album is boring though it is one of my favourite albums this year.

Thanx, I'll may decide to take a listen to Tarot soon

You will not regret that decision I think. I really like that album...there are so many great songs. A real pleasure for the ears

i knew this band with before the duel, i liked a lot that song and i download all discography, the last album "tarot" is awesome, like a lot the song the moon with pieces of bethovens songs. really cool. Excellent spanish band. Its really nice to hear this band

i think they were better with elisa on vocals but well Beyond the sea and Tarot are good albums..
specially tarot you must hear

The Star,Wheel Of Fortune,Devil In The Tower and The Emperor ... really good tracks

I want a moustache like enrik Garcia! A genius about music and his compositions are like listening mozart in metal hehehe, and i'm not saying that because their Amadeus song. My favorite album: At The Gates Of Oblivion.

IMO, Tarot lacked variation, something they were just beginning to harness on their other releases with Alfred. Both vocalists are equal in skill, too, both fitting the styles Dark Moor have and do play

Worlds Greatest Harry Potter metal band.. You have to love them. personally I prefer Alfred's vocals, but it's just what I'm used to as Dark Moor was my first album with them. My favorite song is absolutely Vivaldi's Winter. It's fantastic..

I'm re-listening to the albums again, The Hall Of the Olden Dreams and Gates of Oblivion are IMO their best...

Hey, has anyone heard their latest album, "Autumnal" yet? From what I heard, it's just superb! I enjoyed some tracks on "Tarot," but, this disc seems to be the culmination of all the ideas they've had in the last years, topped off with a killer production. Surely going to be a contender to be in my top lists for 2009 already!

I have... like 3 times already since getting my hands on it a week ago. v impressive indeed. I enjoyed every track, with Swan Lake and Faustus probably being my favourite

Yes, definitely "Faustus" is one of my choices as well. It starts off immediately and is great until the end. I am impressed with the amount of memorable melodies on this whole album. Every song seems to be a contender for something that can get imbedded in my head for hours after I've turned the stereo off

I'm eagerly awaiting my CD/shirt package from the band so I can sit down with the lyrics and such, and of course show off the intriguing artwork

Don't think the artwork of autumnal is THAT impressive... Tarot looks more attention demanding and mystical imo
but such stuff is always subjective

I really love the songs 'Swan Lake' and 'The Sphinx'. Very powerful and epic.

i'm sure i listend the first melody of On The Hill Of Dreams somewhere else but the problem is don't know where. even about some melodies and riffs of other tracks i have this feeling too.i doubt about originality of this album. have u this problem too???

I think that their latest album shows progression, but it seems like they put all their effort into only the first song...the rest of the album was pretty boring. If their next album actually has 10 "swan lakes" on it, it'll be revolutionary...because nobody does Baroque solos like Dark Moor. Also, they should have the female vocalist on all of the songs.

I haven't heard much from the new album yet, just like.. one song.. would any of you guys think their Tarot album was better than Autumnal?

Swan lake is an adapted version of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, so he's not really Baroque, rather in the Romantic period. Though this kind of music does appeal to me. Like in their Tarot album, The Moon is a medley of Beethoven's "greatest hits". Though I haven't listened to Vivaldi's Winter, I'm assuming it's Vivaldi's Four Season's with a twist, but this time Vivaldi really comes from the Baroque era.

I v much agree with you that more female +male duets is desired

Nope, i don;t think so anyway. you should give it a shot first. Try online sources if you are unsure whether to buy it or not

Autumnal, is really far better than Tarot. It has unique atmosphere, a masterful songwritting. Its like a metal musical.

I think 'The Hall Of Olden Dreams' and 'Autumnal' are the best. They are totally different, but I both like it.

I first heard of them when playing Frets on Fire, the song: Vivaldi's Winter and i was amazed, then i readed thet they were from spain and the singer was a woman, that amazed me much more nd im very interested in them but i still dont have nothing more from them, just Vivaldi's Winter

I am not very much interested in their previous materials, but Autumnal blew me away. It is just beyond awesome.

Haven't you tried "Tarot", the album before "Autumnal"?

I listened to it, not bad but i am a little bit selective on power metal. Tarot was not bad, but Autumnal is awesome as for my taste.

BTW i have always been a huge fan of Tchaikosky's Swan Lake. Thus, the album gains more importance for me due to that cover.
