Black Moor (musical group)

Black Moor is a heavy metal band formed in 2005 in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. Since their inception, they have worked steadily to expand their fanbase and refine their sound. After a period of several years of self-promotion the group signed to Halifax-based Diminished Fifth Records in mid-2009 and through them released their debut album The Conquering.'

In June 2008, the members of Black Moor were involved in a car accident while on their way home from playing a show in Montreal. Although all the band members survived, the crash left drummer Sylvain Coderre with numerous injuries including a leg broken in 3 places, broken toes, broken jaw, lacerated skull and spleen. While the rest of the band walked away with minor injuries, the accident set back production on the bands' debut album The Conquering by almost a full year.

In August, 2009 Black Moor released their debut album The Conquering to critical acclaim

Black Moor (Rhön)

The Black Moor is an important internationally recognised wetland located in the Bavarian Rhön Mountains at the tripoint of the German states of Hesse, Thuringia and Bavaria. It is part of UNESCO's Rhön Biosphere Reserve and has an area of 66.4 hectares. It is thus the largest bog complex in the Rhön. Much of the moor is a largely undisturbed and intact raised bog. It is part of the Europe-wide conservation system, Natura 2000, and one of the most important raised bogs in Central Europe. The Black Moor lies on the watershed between the Rhine and Weser rivers. In 2007 the Black Moor was included in the List of the 100 most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria.

The Black Moor is an eccentric, cupola-shaped, raised bog. Its surface appearance resembles that of the northern Kermimoor bogs. From its central plateau which lies near the higher edge of the bog in the north, where the peat is up to 8 metres thick in places, the surface of the terrain falls away on all sides. The central plateau forms an almost rectangular area with a length of about 800 metres from northwest to southeast and a width of about 400 metres. On the steepest slopes there are hollows running parallel to the contours: elongated, sharply defined troughs known as Schlenken. These are up to 50 metres long and between one and three metres deep.
