In a shocking turn of events, the vocalist of MOONSPELL, Fernando Ribeiro, has come out and said that he didn’t feel inspired to write music anymore after the band’s last album, “Hermitage” 🎸. I mean, who can blame him? The pressure to constantly create new music can be overwhelming, especially when you’re a metal band and everyone expects you to be, well, metal all the time 🤘. But fear not, dear fans, because Fernando found his muse again, and it’s all thanks to a little movie called “Nosferatu” 🦇. Because, you know, vampires are always a great source of inspiration, especially when they’re not sparkly and emo 🙄.
Apparently, Fernando was so inspired by the movie that he wrote the title track for their new album, “Far From God”, in just one breath 🤯. I mean, that’s some serious creativity right there 🌟. And the best part is, the song is all about tragic, romantic vampire love 🎶, because who doesn’t love a good love story about bloodsucking creatures of the night 💉? The song is described as a “hymn to tragic vampiric love” and features “dense guitars, deep resonant vocals and dramatic dynamic shifts” 🎸, which sounds like the perfect recipe for a metal song about vampires 🤘.
But that’s not all, folks! Fernando also talked about the band’s musical inspiration for the new album, saying that they’re going back to their gothic metal roots 🌳. Because, you know, gothic metal is all about being dark and moody, and what’s darker and moodier than vampires 🦇? The band has already released two singles from the album, “Far From God” and “Cross Your Heart” 🎶, and they’re both perfect examples of the band’s ability to create music that’s both heavy and romantic 💘.
Fernando also mentioned that he was inspired by the movie’s aesthetic and soundtrack 🎵, which is no surprise, given that the movie’s director, Robert Eggers, is known for his visually stunning and atmospheric films 🌌. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t be inspired by a movie about a vampire who’s just trying to mind his own business, take care of his kingdom, and not get staked through the heart 💀? It’s a tale as old as time, folks 🎶.
In all seriousness, though, it’s great to see MOONSPELL back in the game, and their new album “Far From God” is definitely something to look forward to 🎉. So, if you’re a fan of gothic metal, vampires, or just good old-fashioned metal music, be sure to check it out 🎧. And who knows, you might even find yourself falling in love with the tragic, romantic tale of a vampire who just wants to be loved 💌.
The album is set to be released on July 3 via Napalm Records 📆, so mark your calendars and get ready to rock 🤘. And don’t forget to watch the videos for “Far From God” and “Cross Your Heart” on YouTube 📹, because they’re definitely worth a watch 🎥. With their new album, MOONSPELL is sure to take the metal world by storm ⛈️, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us 🤔. So, stay tuned for more updates on the band and their upcoming album 📣, and get ready to experience the magic of MOONSPELL 🎩. 🎸🦇🎶📆🤘
