Gotta say , i really like this. It's nothing revolutionnary but it's great for what it is.

Best songs are Gandir , Love from The Stone and A Music For the Soul for me but the rest is also pretty good. Gandir is so fucking catchy , i had the chorus stuck in my head for like a week.

Might be good, I've heard a bit about these guys, and I'm going to check them out.

I doubt you'd like 'em, it may be Spanish power metal but it's not in the vein of Mago de Oz.

Mago de Oz is so overrated. Dark Moor is way better.

I agree. Probably one of the better Spanish power metal bands around.

I just heard some of Dark Moor's material on YT, and while it's not overtly homosexual like Rhapsody of fire, the music isn't as brilliant nor is it as interesting as Mago De Oz. More or less a more metallic version of the flower metal/symphonic sound. I don't dislike their material, but it's not something I could enjoy as much as Mago

"Ah! Wretched Me"" is a great song I do like this album.

Dark Moor is great. The early dark moor is just bombastic and epic as it gets. Gates to Oblivion is simply a classic. Near Masterpiece for me

Yeah, after I read this I tried a few songs... its so hard for me to like anything after The Hall of the Olden Dreams and The Gates of Oblivion.

By the way, this is still the best Dark Moor song (and one of the best power metal songs) ever written --

Wow...great song. Thanks for that. I haven't listened to either that album or Gates of Oblivion for a while. Great power metal does somehow transcend all the cliche's. When it all comes together like this song does with huge power chords, thundering double bass and of course big soaring voices, all with an enormous sense of melody. it's the classical music of the modern age...

One of my favourites also, "In The Heart Of Stone" from The Gates Of Oblivion is another one of their top songs.

I've had that album on repeat since I haven't really been able to get into this new one too much. It just surfaced and made me realize how much I miss the old sound.

This is not nearly as bad and gay as all the power metal albums I've heard.

Any recommendations for really good romance novels? I am having a hard time looking for romance books that are really good in writing and have a lot of romance, can anyone recommend any good ones that they have read or heard of?

1) Why the hell would you want to read a romance novel?

2) Why are you asking people on a Metal forum?

C) What does this have to do with Dark Moor?

5) Why the hell would you want to read a romance novel?
