Portugal’s Dark Metallers Moonspell are set to release their brand new album, entitled ‘1755’, on November 3rd 2017 via Napalm Records.
The band’s 13th studio album has been sung entirely in their native language, it’s the musical equivalent of the ‘year of horror’ where a giant earthquake wrecked the band’s hometown of Lisbon.
For the first time ever, Moonspell have recorded their new album in Portuguese, but there will be one bonus track appearing in Spanish. The band has released this version of their song ‘Desastre’.
Vocalist and creative spirit Fernando Ribeiro comments:
“Desastre is a homage to all our Spanish-speaking fans around the world. In the late 18th century, in our streets a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese was spoken and guess what that’s exactly what we do here! This song is about how the earthquake took Lisbon by surprise and how we are nothing but a human leaf left alone to break when a strong winds blows. Enjoy Desastre, gracias y saludos!”
In support of Moonspell’s upcoming release, the band will be hitting the road this year, kicking off in Portugal and Spain first, followed by an extensive tour with Cradle Of Filth in early 2018!
