Portugal's MOONSPELL have issued the following update:

"Sorry to inform that the Extrememusic Festival in Caceres Spain was canceled due to the weather! We hope to go back to Spain as soon as possible! We were almost in Spain ready to go when we got the call!! SUCKS but what are you goin' to do."

Moonspell's new album Night Eternal will be issued by SPV/Steamhammer in Europe on May 19th (in some countries the date may vary one or two days according to the distributors’ schedules) and in North America on June 10th.

According to a recent band update, "there will be, at first, two editions of the record. A limited double digipack with different artwork, one bonus song ('Age Of Mothers'), a different version of the song 'Scorpion Flower', the full album as well as a bonus DVD containing all video clips from Memorial plus 'Finisterra' "making of" and three live clips from last year’s performance at the Wacken Open Air.

The other edition is the jewel case edition to which we hope to add at least another bonus song and are dealing with SPV as we speak.

The full tracklist of the album shall be for all editions: 'At Tragic Heights', 'Night Eternal', 'Shadow Sun', 'Scorpion Flower', 'Moon In Mercury', 'Hers Is The Twilight', 'Dreamless (Lucifer And Lilith)', 'Spring Of Rage' and 'First Light'.

Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-THE GATHERING), now from AGUA DE ANNIQUE, is our special guest on 'Scorpion Flower'. She performed the duet with Fernando on that song. All other female choirs were performed by the Crystal Mountain Singers who are composed by Carmen Simões (AVA INFERI), Sophia Vieira (CINEMERTE) and Patrícia Andrade (ex-VOLSTAD, now THE VANITY CHAIR).

Further guests include our old time friend Niclas Etelävuori (AMORPHIS) who recorded bass on the album. The artwork was conceived by Seth Siro Anton (PARADISE LOST, SEPTIC FLESH, etc.) and the band was photographed by Edgar Keats."
