Moonspell
Biography
Moonspell is a Portuguese gothic metal band formed in 1992 in Braga. A pioneer of extreme metal in Portugal, they blend black metal, gothic metal and Mediterranean atmospheres carried by Fernando Ribeiro's voice. The album Wolfheart (1995) established them on the European scene, followed by landmark records like Irreligious and Extinct. Their dark romanticism and Iberian identity make them a singular case in European metal.
