Biography

Hailing from the nation of Portugal, the doomy goth metal quintet Moonspell consists of vocalist Fernando Ribeiro, guitarist Ricardo Amorim, keyboardist/programmer Pedro Paixão, bassist Sérgio Crestana, and drummer Mike Gaspar. After a poorly distributed 1994 album for the French Adipocere label, Moonspell debuted on Century Media in 1995 with Wolfheart; it was followed in 1996 by Irreligious and in 1998 by Sin / Pecado. Moonspell returned in 1999 with The Butterfly Effect. Two years later, the group released Darkness And Hope, produced by Hiili Hiilesman. In 2003, Moonspell collaborated with author José Luís Peixoto to release The Antidote, an album and book of the same name that told a complete narrative. Three years later, the group returned with Memorial, which was produced by waldemar Sorychta and was the first to be released on the SPV Steamhammer label. In 2008, the group released their ninth album, Night Eternal. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

    Lyrics
    Opium, desire or will?
    Inspiration bound from an elegant seed
    Subversion, through smoke I foresee
    Erotic motions of lesser gods in ecstasy
    Opium, bring me forth another dream

    Lyrics
    Mother Tongue speaks to Me
    In the strongest way I¹ve ever seen
    I know that she sees in Me
    Her proudest child, her purest breed
    She speaks to me in colours

    Above your head lays a Star

    Lyrics
    Bleed no reflection
    On the waters that fear
    Make things happen
    Accept no resignation
    For some life has been cruel

    Lyrics
    Curse the day, hail the night
    Flower grown in the wild
    In your empty heart
    In the breast that feeds
    Flower worn in the dark
