Moonspell

Greetings wolves and witches!

First off, many thanks for all the birthday wishes! It was overwhelming and it made me feel way less alone in a world where souls like ours are obliged to get together and to do something rightful with our energy as musicians, music fans, people who share an irresistible, unconditional love and attraction for the unknown, the forbidden, the lines written in between the lines, the genuine darkness and the genuine light inside of us all.

A word and a kind thought to #Amatrice victims before anything. It's true we were working just days before on a concept about Lisbon earthquake and summoning energies and visions which unfortunately were to be made truth in this unfortunate natural disaster. 1755 earthquake was much more than just one of the biggest natural disasters in Europe. It was a game changer for Portugal society and of course one event marked by a pain and sorrow never seen before. It's this humanity in brutality that we always like to study about and to imprint in our themes and the songs we just completed with Tue Madsen and Poison Apple Studios are impregnated by those feelings.

The interview I did for Rockový magazín Spark Brutal Assault official last time we played, was nothing more than a happy coincidence as we just came out of the studio and were pretty excited about what we did there. We're sorry/not sorry of not making more for you guys here on social networking but we were focused and busy seeing our new stuff growing to a state we were not expecting. Nothing wrong to be excited about your own stuff, actually that's way to go! So we were making our things come together without you letting you in the process but we were enjoying each other company and a great studio time. Sure we did some footage and took some shots and we are planning to reveal such preciosities soon enough but there are reasons for our "silence" around this.

The first one is that Extinct still resonate on our ears and is far from being a dead album as many tours and further dates will be announced within this touring cycle for Extinct. So it wasn't creative insatisfaction. It was more a plan from the past do a full thing in Portuguese (yes, all the songs are written and sung in Portuguese). I remember talking about this when Ares was still on the band. At the time we were inclined to do a Folk album, full of songs likeTrebaruna and Ataegina from Wolfheart. But then the tide turned with Irreligious and we had no time or inspiration to do such an album. Until we found the right subject and a certain mood made the band excited and focused and this material we recorded blew our own expectations which is a great thing to happen to a band, especially after such a well-received record as Extinct was. Furthermore we now face a dilemma which we will also put to our label Napalm Records. These new songs in Portuguese were meant to be just a bonus to our DVD. In the meanwhile the DVD plans had to be changed and the songs we did sounded so strong that we decide to put it on an EP with a total of 5 songs, 3 of them brand new stuff, written one and a half year after Extinct was out, that is now. And of course, the worm is in the brain, and now we feel that the songs are so strong that if we commit ourselves even more we can maybe reach a full album with that. It's not a market thing for us, it's about taking a body of work to its highest point, a responsibility musicians have in order to be thankful for inspiration, which, above all records sales and show tickets, is what might keep us in the radar of people like you.

So we will back with our considerations and you can feel free to make yours. In the meanwhile, thank you again for the unholy birthday wishes, for giving us a great Summer season and for putting up with the wild ride, back and forth, which is our music and whatever best version of it we can present to you. Enjoy this "accidental" exclusive of our Czech friends here.

Obrigado:

Fernando Ribeiro,

 

Io spero che sia un disco di puro folk e che non canti in growl, perchè i Moonspell hanno questa vena etnica, acustica, insomma un po' atipica, davvero genuina.

 

Era nell'aria da un po' ed eccolo arrivare: Moonspell: un DVD live per i 20 anni di 'Irreligious'

 

ottimo

 

Wolves and Witches of Italy!

We will be back to your beautiful country for two intense shows. A special Wolfheart + Irreligious set will be played on both dates, so don't miss them!

Friday, May 12th - Fabrik, Cagliari
Saturday, May 13th - Dagda Live, Borgo Priolo (Pavia)

Two nights Under The Spell! See you there.

 

Incredibile.....di nuovo in Italia e di nuovo in tour.
Stesso iter dei DT.
Ma li capisco, per fare cassa oramai solo i concerti e il merchandising possono salvare le band dal crollo degli introiti delle vendite dei cd.
Spero di farcela per Pavia, i Moonspell meritano tanto e con questa setlist poi....
Qualcuno conosce il dagda live e sa dirmi com'e?

 

giuro che avevo letto cosí...
