Dark Moor began the recording sessions for their second album, The Hall of the Olden Dreams, in August 2000 at New Sin Studios with producer Luigi Stefanini. During these recording sessions, the band recorded their cover of "Halloween", which was included on the CD The Keepers of Jericho part I - A Tribute to Helloween (Arise Records).
Their E.P. The Fall of Melnibone was released in June 2001. This E.P was a limited edition; 1500 copies were released and only for the Spanish market.
Dark Moor began the recording of their third album, The Gates of Oblivion, in Autumn 2001 at New Sin Studios. Dark Moor signed with the major label JVC for the Asian release. The band played 18 gigs at festivals such as Rock Machina, Viña Rock and Nit De Reis. After the first part of the tour, keyboardist Roberto Peña left the band and they were forced to finish the tour with a guest musician.
In August 2003 Dark Moor recorded four new exclusive acoustic tracks along with a string quartet, to be included in Between Light and Darkness, which was released in April 2003. Due to differing points of view regarding the musical direction for the next Dark Moor album, vocalist Elisa Martin, guitarist Albert Maroto and drummer Jorge Sáez decided to leave Dark Moor to start a new band.
The two remaining members of the band decided to start a search for new members. After the auditions, they accepted vocalist Alfred Romero, guitarist Jose Garrido, and drummer Andy C.
In August 2003, the band started recording their fourth album, Dark Moor, at New Sin Studios in Italy. Following a month of recording sessions, the album was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios.
On 23 November 2006, the band announced the departure of their drummer on their official website, due to "incompatibility with his other musical projects." He would go on to play drums for Saratoga. His replacement, Roberto Cappa, was previously in the Spanish metal band Anima Sola.
In January 2009, their seventh album Autumnal was released.
The band made an announcement on their website, dated 4 June 2010, that their eighth album was in the works. It featured Berenice Musa as a guest vocalist. The album is titled Ancestral Romance and it was released in November 2010.
On 18 June 2013 the band released their ninth album Ars Musica, with the Japanese limited version including a bonus CD with five bonus tracks. They toured Mexico and Asia the same year, as well as few dates in Europe in 2014 to support the new album.
Dark Moor started recording their 10th studio album, Project X, on 27 July 2015 and released it in Europe on 6 November 2015 on Scarlet Records.
On 21 July 2018, Enrik Garcia, guitarist and founder of the band, announced via Facebook that their next album would be called Origins and that, after the parenthesis they did with ufology themes on Project X, they would return to their habitual themes; Origins will be about the celtic world, also adding celtic instruments on their new songs. This album has been released on 12 December 2018.

fun fact, they reference the band "nightwish" in shivering isles.
in xirethard, theres a chest called "dark chest of wonders" and inside is the "ring of the oceanborn"
referencing the song, and album by the same names 👌
(tho id suggest their song "ghost love score" if you wanna check them out)
big, grandiose gothic symphonic metal piece. HIGHLY recommend lol. TRULY a masterpiece. 👌 i first heard about nightwish through the oblivion UESP 👌😂😂😂😂😂
they also reference the band "finntroll" in skyrim, (a folk metal band) via the book "troll slaying by finn)
and the band "darkmoor" in skyrim (a symphonic metal band (darkmoor is a location near whiterun)

Classical music is basically metal without electricity
No wonder why we metal lovers also love classical music
Franco 117
Metal fans are the most knowledgeable of any music fans
oliver cycloholic
right. Sadly there´s too many metal bands around that don´t have the brain or the skills to do it like dark moor.
Jim Gibbons
Or metal music is basically classical music with electricity!
silver flame
Ok, there would be no metal without the influence of classical indian music, alaps and the like. But yeah..
Fran Andrades
We do
Refulgent_Fanta
All the bands doing this sort of thing I think proves that if classical composers would've been alive today, they probably would've been in Metal bands.

+Adrian Mantsch Rhapsody... is the best, find "the dark tower of abyss"..best ever.
Hila Glam
+Adrian Mantsch Couldn't agree more. As a classical pianist myself, I fell in love with metal at the age of 16 and then realized that my opera voice techniques work wonderfully well in metal as well. Today I sing both opera and growling very professionally and metal is my biggest love in life so far. With my love for classical music, these two combined are very much alike in many aspects. People need to be more open minded to metal, because it's one hell of a masterpiece of art.
