Dark Moor – Best Ballads (2012)

It’s become a familiar and profoundly pleasant experience – that deep sigh of satisfaction and the blissful smile that accompanies it. Hearing a new Dark Moor release: there’s nothing else quite like it. Despite never quite reaching “first line” status in terms of commercial success, Dark Moor is an absolute paragon of consistency in their field – an evocative neo-classical tempest that builds, surges, incapacitates, and then softly withdraws from one’s consciousness with the tenderness of a lover’s caress.
