It was during the complicated crisis of the early ‘90s, in 1993, when Dark Moor is born under Enrik García’s hand.
In 1999, Dark Moor achieves its first contract. It is the right moment to record the first album of the band, “Shadowland”, thanks to the interest of Arise Records, which makes them loyal to this label to launch their posterior works.

The record get better results than expected, reaching to the point of being edited in Central Europe or Brazil, and letting the doors open to make a memorable Spanish tour with Demons & Wizards.

In August 2000 the band recorded their international confirmation. “The Hall of the Olden Dreams”, and also started a faithful relationship with its producer Luigi Stefanini, who was behind most of their subsequent projects.

The next tour included with great success some festivals like Viña Rock and Mijas Rock. The band received some awards from the critics and also took part on the tribute album to Helloween, named “The Keepers of Jericho”, contributing with “Halloween”, a cover that made the band achieve the respect and recognition from half of the world. This song would also been included in the EP “The Fall of Melniboné” for Spain.

In November 2001, Dark Moor recorded their third studio album, “The Gates of Oblivion, again under Stefanini’s command.

Hi! Just another Dark Moor fan (for years) giving an opinion: "The Hall of The Older Dreams" and "The Gates of Oblivion" are the albums. The rest... is different, fine, but nothing special, just like many other good groups. I have to give a try to Autumnal, anyway. Un saludo!

Fairyland is really great, I need to buy some of their albums :) I think the instrumentation gets back to suitable levels of awesome by Autumnal, though... Swan Lake is just fantastic x)

vv I know, but Elisa was sort of what made Dark Moor what they were to me. Her voice is very unique and powerful. Instrumentally they did fall apart though, and I'm not sure whose fault that is. But alas, we still have Dreamaker and Fairyland and everything else.

Well, they lost two other members as well, it wasn't just Elisa. At the moment I'm liking Autumnal best out of the post-Elisa albums but I still haven't listened to them all the way through.

So I decided to give Autumnal another go. I suppose it's not that bad as I thought it was at first, being upset that the band was weaker having lost Elisa. But I still prefer Elisa-era..

Quest for a valid opinion, Part II: Hall of Olden Dreams is great!! :D Totally pwns Shadowland. Intro is great, every song is great in fact :) Elisa's vocals are much better, the songwriting is much more interesting... Silver Lake is the highlight, for me, definitely one of my favourite Dark Moor songs :)

Okay, in order to gain a proper opinion I've decided to listen my way through all the albums chronologically. (Previously I just stuck them on playlists with everyone else and hit shuffle) Shadowland... kind of sucks xD Well, it's not BAD, but Elisa's voice is nothing special imo, songs are similar and don't have much to save them and wth is with that intro, it's the most pointless intro ever! They might as well have stuck those 36 seconds on the start of the second track. Calling on the Wind was pretty nice though :)

At times Alfred sounds really good and his voice generally fits those albums but overall I think he can sound quite weak. Still Beyond The Sea is one of my favorite power metal albums. Such an awesome band.

I like Alfred's voice better, but in general I seem to be preferring the Elisa-era stuff. I dunno, I still haven't listened enough to get a proper opinion :P

I only like the first albums with Elisa. And yet they're some of my favorite albums ever.

Elisa was better than Alfred, though he is indeed very good. But the music did not lose his quality, is still so good!
