MOONSPELL To Record "Very Special Project"
June 21, 2007, 17 years ago
Portugal's MOONSPELL will enter the studio in the first weeks of July in order to record a very special project.
The recording sessions will be held at Denmark's Antfarm Studios. Behind the wheel of death will be Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, DARK TRANQUILLITY, ROB HALFORD), co-producing with the band. This release will consist of re-recordings of the band's legendary Under The Moonspell (1994) but also going back as far as their first demo, Anno SatanÆ, and their sole track as MORBID GOD, 'Serpent Angel'. All the songs will be re-arranged and revamped in order to underline their revered distinction as "underground classics" but now with a mature dark energy and class. The full-length record (8 songs and around 5 instrumental compositions) will be released in early October (2007) via SPV worldwide.
Tracklisting (not the final order): 'Halla alle halla al rabka halla' (Praeludium/Incantatum Solistitium), 'Tenebrarum Oratorium' (Andamento I/Erudit Compendyum), 'Interludium/Incantatum Oequinoctum', 'Tenebrarum Oratorium' (Andamento II/Erotic Compendyum), 'Opus Diabolicum' (Andamento III/Instrumental Compendyum), 'Chorai Lusitânia!' (Epilogus/Incantatam Maresia), 'Intro', 'Goat On Fire', 'Ancient Winter Goddess', 'Wolves From The Fog', 'Outro', 'Serpent Angel'.
In the process is also the composition of the follow up to Memorial which will go into production before the end of the year at the Woodhouse Studios with Waldemar Sorychta.
A "Best Of Moonspell", entitled The Great Silver Eye, released through Century Media, will be hitting stores in July.
