MOONSPELL: Recording Update
November 24, 2005MOONSPELL frontman Fernando Ribeiro has posted a lengthy update at the group's official blog regarding the recording process for their new album, "Memorial", which is taking place at Woodhouse Studios in Hagen, Germany with producer Waldemar Sorychta (TIAMAT, SAMAEL, SENTENCED). Read it at this location.
As previously reported, MOONSPELL have inked a three-album deal with SPV/Steamhammer Records following their split with Century Media. The recording sessions for the group's new album will last from November 1 to November 27.
"Memorial" will contain around 8 to 10 new songs, including "Once It Was Ours!", "Blood Tells", "Sanguine", "Finisterra", "Upon the Blood of Men" and "At the Image of Pain". The material is being described by the group as "the best music we ever wrote together" and "an homage to the Nineties scene and bands," of which they became a strong symbol of. A tentative spring 2006 release is expected.
With regards to MOONSPELL's long-awaited first DVD, "Lunar Still/13 Years of Doom", most of the contents are ready to go into production but the release was delayed due to legal issues which are taking a long time to be ironed out. Century Media will release the DVD sometime next year. In addition, new live dates are being booked for the next festival season, as are one-off shows in Russia and Morocco.
