Portugal's Dark Metal pioneers MOONSPELL are back with their brand new and hotly anticipated album, titled '1755'. Set to be released on November 3rd 2017 on Napalm Records, this record will outclass all standards you have ever heard from MOONSPELL before!
The conceptual album dramaturgy feels like a detonation of the mind. '1755' , the 13rd studio record by MOONSPELL, is more than just the band's new magnum opus: It's the musical version of the year of horror where a giant earthquake wrecked their hometown Lisbon. Naturally this album comes and is sung in Portuguese. '1755' is a dark adventure in medieval landscapes - emotionally, technically and completely earthshaking!
Now the the band unleased a first teaser for the track 'Todos os Santos' (Engl.: 'All Saints'), check out this exciting trailer and pre-order '1755' right HERE!
Stay tuned for an upcoming and official music video, which will be released very soon.
Says frontman and creative spirit Fernando Ribeiro:
“Even tough this all happened in 1755, there are still a lot of world and country leaders that think themselves as saints, with a sacred mission, chosen by any God. What really happens is that they save no one but themselves and this video showcases the message of the song: as in 2017 or 1755 all saints will not be enough to save us.”
