Portuguese metal band MOONSPELL have parted ways with original drummer Miguel “Mike” Gaspar and have reportedly replaced him with Hugo Ribeiro (no relation to MOONSPELL singer Fernando Ribeiro).
The band are booked to enter the studio in September to record with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano (PARADISE LOST, ULVER, GHOST).
A 2021 release is planned via Napalm Records.
MOONSPELL‘s latest release was the “Lisboa Under The Spell” live DVD/CD, which came out in August 2018 via Napalm Records. The live DVD/Blu-ray/3CD package captured MOONSPELL‘s performance before 4,000 fans at the sold-out Campo Pequeno arena in their hometown of Lisbon, Portugal on February 4, 2017.
MOONSPELL‘s fourth album, 1999’s “The Butterfly Effect”, will be re-released on August 7 via Napalm Records. The reissue will include two new remixes, a completely re-designed cover and layout artwork, as well as an exclusive excerpt from the Butterfly FX chapter of the band’s official biography, “Wolves Who Were Men”.
MOONSPELL‘s most recent studio album, “1755”, came out in November 2017. The Portuguese-language disc was written about the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, also known as the Great Lisbon earthquake, which occurred in the Kingdom of Portugal. In combination with subsequent fires and a tsunami, the earthquake almost totally destroyed Lisbon and adjoining areas.
