INFO:

Produced by Luigi Stefanini & Enrik García.Recorded & mixed by Luigi Stefanini at New Sin studios in August 2010.Mastered by Luigi Stefanini at New Sin Studios.Cover artbook by Samuel Araya.Graphic design by D.A.Published by Scarlet Records and Avalon Marquee.Guest:Berenice Musa, soprano.

This new album is explores deeper and gets further in our own style, which became more consolidated in our last releases. In this way, the whole orchestra and choir work has been developed and is in perfect symbiosis with rock instruments.
As a result the album has passages of great drama and all the expressiveness we wanted to start the work with.

The theme of "Ancestral Romance" revolves around Spain's culture and history, as is well established in pieces like "Ah Wretched me!", based on the "Life is a Dream" by Calderon de la Barca , "Tilt at Windmills" based on Don Quixote, "Mio Cid" inspired by the legend of the Spanish hero El Cid, "Alaric de Marnac", an adaptation of Paul Naschy's latest book of the same title, "Love from the Stone" which tells of the legend of the lovers of Teruel, "Gadir" inspired by the first city founded in Europe: Cádiz, or "Ritual Fire Dance", adaptation of "Danza del Fuego" by Manuel de Falla, Spanish composer.

All lyrics have been written by the Spanish poet Francisco José García , our usual collaborator. Thanks to his great work, Alfred was able to connect very well with the spirit of each song and do a great job of interpretation, emphasizing and increasing his natural baritone timbre.
This album also features Dark Moor's first song in Spanish, "La Canción del Pirata", where the band has put music to the famous poem by Espronceda.
