Moonspell reveals new album “1755” details

MOONSPELL is ready to release their next album already during 2017.

The band is currently on pre-production with John Phipps (orchestralmetal.com) at their home studio (Inferno) in Portugal and has been recently in their social media pages some pictures and videos of their daily work at the Moonspell studio.

The upcoming album will be entitled “1755” and represents a quite surprising twist on events and direction of the band. Versing the Great Lisbon Earthquake (1755), the band has developed a lyrical concept that looks into the death and rebirth of Lisbon. Also how the disaster changed Religion, Politics and Philosophy in the whole Europe. The surprise is that the album will be fully sung in PORTUGUESE!

What was supposed to be a 4-song bonus for the LISBOA UNDER THE SPELL DVD-BLURAY (recorded last February in Lisbon with an audience of 4000 wild fans, to be released in 2018) evolved into a full length album. “1755” will be produced by Tue Madsen (Antfarm Studios, DK) who worked with the band in a few of their previous releases (UNDER SATANAE, NIGHT ETERNAL, ALPHA NOIR/OMEGA WHITE).

In the band’s own words, Fernando (lead singer) explains:

“We fell in love with the concept and made perfect sense to sing it in our national language, Portuguese. I guess we were just waiting for the right opportunity to work on such an album. Musically it will be heavier than Extinct. It will be earthshaking but also very detailed with orchestrations and percussion as we want people to relive the Lisbon of the 18th century. Singing it in Portuguese, allowed me to find a different expression as a vocalist and my job is to be the survivor of the Earthquake, roaming the ruins and telling you all about it.”
