Dark Moor (metal mélodique, Espagne)

[Pierre]

Les Espagnols viennent de signer chez Scarlet Records. Leur album s'intitulera "Tarot" et sortira en février ou mars.


Spanish metal band DARK MOOR has signed a deal with Italy's Scarlet Records. With its previous five albums, the group established itself as one of today's leading classic/power metal acts, combining the European metal sound with a high-class symphonic approach, made possible by each member's astonishing technical skills.

DARK MOOR's new album, "Tarot", is said to be "an intriguing" conceptual effort about the major arcanes of the tarot, covering in depth the meaning of each arcane and the esoteric halo that surrounds it. The band put a major attention in the symbolism of each card (and the tarot that represents), trying to find a link with real life which, as the band likes to say, is often a reflection of life itself. Production duties were once again handled by renowed producer Luigi Stefanini (RHAPSODY, LABIRYNTH, VISION DIVINE). The impressive artwork was created by Derek Gores (EDGUY, KAMELOT).

"Tarot" track listing:

01. The Magician
02. The Chariot
03. The Star
04. Wheel Of Fortune
05. The Emperor
06. Devil In The Tower
07. Death
08. Lovers
09. The Hanged Man
10. The Moon

"Tarot" is scheduled for release in late February/early March.

J'ai bien aimé le précédent, Tarot. J'essaierai de jeter une oreille sur ce nouvel opus.

La pochette contraste avec leur style c'est sympa, à moins qu'ils n'aient justement changé de registre récemment?

[Samizo Kouhei]

Mouais, j'espère qu'il y aura pas des growls boîteux comme dans le Deathscythe d'Elvenking (dans un autre style) ...

Leur precedent opus était franchement pas mal!

J'adore cette nouvelle pochette qui merite l'achat du skeud à elle seule

Madrid, Spain-based symphonic metallers DARK MOOR will release their new album, "Ars Musica", on June 18 via Scarlet Records.

A teaser for the CD can be seen below.

With the follow-up to their "Ancestral Romance" album, DARK MOOR have taken another step forward in their career, forging a more identifiable sound and expanding their songwriting in multiple directions. They still pay homage to the Spanish cultural heritage in songs such as "First Lance Of Spain", "Gara & Jonay" and "El Último Rey", but elsewhere they go more personal, still giving high priority to their trademark melodies and elaborate harmonies. Talented singer Alfred Romero offers his best performance to date, whilst orchestrations are less classical and more grandiose and epic.
