One glowing review tackles Dark Moor’s Tarot: a brisk, melodic power metal concept on the Major Arcana. It praises Alfred Romero’s passionate vocals and Enrik García’s solos, favoring keyboard–guitar interplay over heavy symphonics. Highlights include The Star, The Wheel of Fortune, The Devil In The Tower, and the 11-minute The Moon with classical nods. Verdict: energetic, enjoyable, not hung up on originality.
