Dark Moor is the fourth full-length album of the spanish neoclassical power metal band Dark Moor.
Shortly before releasing The Gates of Oblivion, the band announced their split. Due to musical differences, Elisa C. Martín, Albert Maroto and Jorge Saez left the band, and formed Dreamaker. Enrik García and Anan Kaddouri remained with Dark Moor. Alfred Romero joined the band as the new lead singer. José Garrido (guitars) joined shortly after, followed by Andy C. on the drums.
The band traveled to Italy to record their self-titled album at the New Sin Studio. The album was recorded and mixed by Luigi Stefanini. It was produced by Luigi Stefanini and Dark Moor.
All songs were written by Enrik García, and most of the lyrics were written by the lyricist Francisco José García.

Concepts


"A Life for Revenge" is based on the adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo.
"The Bane of Daninsky (The Werewolf)" is a homage to Spanish actor Jacinto Molina ("Paul Naschy"), as Waldemar Daninsky (a wolfman he played in 12 movies) was one of his most famous roles.
"Philip, the Second" is about the life of Philip, the King of Spain from 1556 until 1598.
"Cyrano of Bergerac" is about Cyrano de Bergerac, a French dramatist and duelist who is now best remembered for the many works of fiction which have been woven around his life story.
"Overture", "Wind Like Stroke", "Return for Love", "Amore Venio" and "The Ghost Sword" are based upon the life of Attila, the Hun.
"The Dark Moor" (as well the name of the band) is based upon the Riftwar Saga, a series of fantasy novels by Raymond E. Feist.
