Portugal's Moonspell has quickly evolved into one of the major players in the European goth-metal scene, and their fourth album, The Butterfly Effect, finds them pushing the boundaries of metal into strange and exciting new directions. Led by vocalist Fernando Ribeiro's breathy baritone, the group could be likened to a European Type O Negative but with a greater talent for genre-bending experimentation. Following the basic blueprint set by Tiamat's hugely influential Wildhoney album, The Butterfly Effect marries violent, down-tuned guitar riffs, eerie synthesizer passages, and esoteric lyrical themes (part science fiction, part anti-Christianity). And though it's sheer breadth doesn't allow for as cohesive a picture as previous efforts, the album features a number of exceptional tracks. Chief among these are "Tired," with its incredibly haunting melodies, and the enigmatically titled "Can't Bee," a mishmash of extremes that may just qualify as the first ever death metal waltz. Other compelling moments include the unrelenting power of "Soulsick," the near-pop strains of "Disappear Here," and the straightforward industrial bludgeoning of "I Am the Eternal Spectator." A challenging but mostly rewarding sonic experience. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

CMJ (11/29/99, p.22) - "...gothically played, doomy pop metal with an electronic edge....singer Fernando Ribiero can emit a growl fierce enough to put hair on your chest." Moonspell Butterfly Effect Songs Butterfly Effect Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   excellent metal band
Moonspell is unquestionably the most underrated metal band on this planet.
This album is brillant: it wanders somewhere between violence and melodies; industrial sounds and traditionnal stuffs. "Disappear here" "soulsick" and "can't bee" are my favorite tunes on this one...You defenitely got to get this cd.

Butterfly Effect CD music
$9.39
On Discouraged Ones, Katatonia remains as depressive as ever, while at the time moving even further away from its earlier sound than it did on the previous release, Brave Murder Day. Cleanly sung vocals (at times reminiscent of the Cure's Robert Smith) have replaced the agonizing growls of Dance of December Souls, while the songs themselves -- averaging about four minutes apiece -- are much more ...
| | Tiamat Skeleton Skeletron CD (1999)
Butterfly Effect music CDs
$9.55
With the release of Skeleton Skeletron, Tiamat have effectively crossed over. Whereas early efforts such as Clouds and Wildhoney found the Swedish deathsters taking heavy metal in new and exciting directions by integrating elements of electronica and goth rock, their sixth album begs the question: have they gone too far? With its female backing vocals, lead-off single "Brighter than the Sun" sounds too much like Sisters of Mercy for its own good, while "Dust is our Fare" features a synthesizer intro borrowed straight from Bronski Beat's "Small Town Boy." Sure, both songs are excellent and display a biting guitar tone which not even heavier goth-rock ...

Butterfly Effect album
$9.39
O Negative, Tiamat, Sisters of Mercy, and sixth album The Antidote finds the Portuguese group existing in its own unique, creative headspace. Bolstered by a thoroughly enveloping production -- which carefully places lush, gothic textures into harsh, metallic realms, and vice versa -- and accomplished, memorable songwriting, The Antidote is easily the group's most ambitious effort. The band utilizes a rich sonic palette that smartly balances melodic hooks, keyboard textures and an impressively strong foundation of steely guitar riffs; moody, rousing numbers ("Capricorn at Her Feet," "Crystal Gazing," "The Southern Deathstyle") ...

Butterfly Effect CD music
$14.25
Once proclaimed poster boys for mid-'90s gothic metal -- European Union-style -- Portugal's Moonspell felt their popularity and influential relevance begin to wane when the movement's new millennium evolution saw female singers become de rigueur. Rudely pushed aside by the likes of Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Lullacry, and, heck, why not, Evanescence, too, Moonspell finds itself in "rebuilding" mode come 2006; delivering their seventh full album and first in three years, Memorial, through new ...

| | Elliott Murphy Lost Generation/Night Lights CD (2003) Import
Butterfly Effect album
$18.59 
This 2-for-1 CD collects both LOST GENERATION (1975) and NIGHT LIGHTS (1976) as well as a plethora of bonus tracks. Elliott Murphy is joined by an impressive roster of session men here, including Doug Yule (The Velvet Underground) and Billy Joel.
The double-CD Lost Generation/Night Lights set collects proto-punk singer/songwriter Elliott Murphy's first two RCA albums and loads the two discs with bonus tracks. He'd never admit it, but Murphy was the first Patti Smith. It's true he may not have had the fiery guitars, but he had plenty of guttersnipe rock & roll poetry, full of elegance and bloodied razor blades blasting from the speakers on the Lower East Side in the early and mid-'70s. These two albums, while never as widely celebrated as Aquashow, are every bit as good and perhaps will stand the test of time better. Lost Generation is a street poet's rock & roll fantasy, full of tracks that allude to lost genius, broken dreams, and an empty present in the hollows of ghost-lit America -- check the title track, "Eva Braun," "Hollywood," "History," and "When You Ride." Night Lights was the other side of poetry. Here ...
