MOONSPELL: New Live Footage Available
March 27, 2007Italian news blog Musica Metal has posted two short video clips of MOONSPELL's performance Monday night (March 26) in Milan. The band's singer, Fernando Ribeiro, was in a particularly good mood and kept thanking the Italian crowd for their warmth. He also launched into a funny speech that included some Italian profanity.
Check out the clips at this location.
MOONSPELL's latest CD, "Memorial", was recently certifield gold in the band's home country of Portugal for sales in excess of 10,000 copies. This is the first time a Portuguese metal band has ever received this award.
MOONSPELL made an appearance on Portuguese national TV (RTP1) in December when they performed a reworked version of their song "Luna" to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the popular "Contra-Informacão" show (a program where public figures of the Portuguese society are sarcastically portrayed in puppets, with dialogue commenting the daily happenings and news). MOONSPELL can be seen performing a "subversive" version of "Luna", featuring ex-USSR communism-related lyrics. Watch the video at YouTube.com.
MOONSPELL was named "Best Portuguese Act" at MTV's 13th annual Europe Music Awards, held on Nov. 2 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is the first time ever a metal band has won that particular award in Europe.
"Memorial" was released in April 2006 via SPV Records. The CD was recorded at Woodhouse Studios in Hagen, Germany with producer Waldemar Sorychta (LACUNA COIL, TIAMAT, GRIP INC.).
