21st February 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

“I am happy that Moonspell is still alive after fucking three decades, I believe, just like Behemoth, staying hungry and creative, still healthy, which is the most important, but, definitely, Under the Moonspell is one of the steppingstones for the Black Metal genre, in general, not just for the Portuguese scene.” – Nergal (BEHEMOTH)

While they are currently gearing up for a special acoustic tour to kick off this Friday, followed by a series of European festival dates and their first-ever symphonic show headlining the biggest live arena in Portugal in October, dark metal pioneers MOONSPELL have announced a truly unique, highly-collectable Boxset release, entitled “Under The Moonspell“, due out on April 20, 2024! This must-have, early years collection by one of the most distinctive heavy and dark metal bands, travels back in time and will feature their eviliest material to date, the iconic 1994 LP Under The Monspell, Under Satanæ as well as Anno Satanæ, the early demos.

Remastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Under the Moonspell + Anno Satanae) and Tue Madsen (Under Satanae), with art direction by João Diogo Pereira, the pre-sale is now available via Fernando Ribeiro‘s own label Alma Mater Records at: https://almamaterrecords.com/records/

Says the MOONSPELL singer:

“Under Satanæ box and collection are the ultimate map to the infernal early years of Moonspell, a voyage like no other curated by the people and the demons who were there daring our very first steps, into the occult and the magic of Dark and Black Metal.”
