While metal is often associated with death and destruction, power metal bands like Dark Moor show that the genre is also capable of soaring to triumphant heights, a feat the band accomplishes splendidly on its third album, The Gates of Oblivion.
Influenced by the majesty and sprawling structure of classical music, the Spanish band takes listeners on a fantastic musical journey that owes as much to Mozart (to whom the band pays tribute on "Dies Iraes [Amadeus]") as it does to Blind Guardian.
A superlative entry in the Dark Moor discography, The Gates of Oblivion is an invigorating display of musicianship and imagination that truly shows off metal's more fantastic side.
