MOONSPELL Announces 'American Full Moon' Spring 2023 North American Tour

February 21, 2023

Portuguese dark metallers MOONSPELL will at long last make their return to North America. Originally planned for last year, the "American Full Moon" 30th-anniversary trek will celebrate three decades of MOONSPELL's evocative and mesmerizing artistry. Direct support on the tour comes from ELEINE, with OCEANS OF SLUMBER and VINTERSEA (select dates) rounding out the bill. The trek kicks off in Brooklyn, New York on April 29, and concludes in Boston, Massachusetts on May 23.

Commenting on the band’s return to North America, MOONSPELL lead vocalist Fernando Ribeiro says: "Touring North America and Canada made us a stronger band on stage and we've learnt a lot about music, fans and hard work overseas. We see this 30 years tour as an opportunity to repay all the amazing fans over there who don't get to see enough of us or hear enough of our music. We're so proud we could bounce back from hardship and book this tour alongside the amazingly beautiful bands ELEINE, OCEANS OF SLUMBER and VINTERSEA and can't wait see you, under the spell!!!"

Last August, MOONSPELL canceled its summer 2022 North American tour due to "unsolvable logistic and transportation problems".

In September, MOONSPELL released a very special Blu-ray/DVD and album, a live performance of their latest studio album, "Hermitage" (2021),with "From Down Below - Live 80 Meters Deep" via Napalm Records.

MOONSPELL's 13th studio album, "Hermitage", was released in February 2021 via Napalm Records. The LP was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (PARADISE LOST, PRIMORDIAL, GHOST, SÓLSTAFIR) at the Orgone Studios in the U.K.

In 2020, MOONSPELL parted ways with original drummer Miguel "Mike" Gaspar and replaced him with Hugo Ribeiro (no relation to Fernando Ribeiro).
