Moonspell's sixth full-length release (and fifth effort for Century Media) again finds the long-running Portuguese quintet producing heavily atmospheric metal that owes as much to Sisters of Mercy as to Black Sabbath. The songs on Darkness and Hope generally emphasize the overall mood over songwriting hooks, but there are some memorable moments, such as the streamlined "Devilred" and the darkly metallic "Rapaces." Splitting the difference between Type O Negative and Tiamat, Moonspell achieves both threatening ferocity and stately grace. ~ Andy Hinds
The Portuguese dark force returns with their fifth full-length. Carrying on their brooding textures, 'Darkness & Hope' actually reaches further into the depths of morbidity to come up with an album that is chilling, haunting & full of dark introspection. 'Darkness & Hope' was granted a layer of sonic greatness by H.I.M. Producer Hiili Hiilesmaa, & features a cover of the enduring Ozzy Osbourne classic, 'Mr. Crowley'. Nuclear Blast.
Recorded at Finvox Studios, Helsinki, Finland.
Personnel: Adolfo Luxuria Canibal (spoken vocals).
Audio Mixer: Hiili Hiilesmaa.
Photographer: Paulo Moreira.
Unknown Contributor Roles: Sergio C; Ricardo Castañeda A.; Mike G.
Moonspell: Fernando Ribeiro (vocals); Ricardo Amorim (guitar); Pedro Paixao (synthesizer, samples); Sergio Crestana (bass); Mike Gaspar (drums).

Darkness And Hope album
 $9.39  
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 ...

Darkness And Hope CD music
$9.55
Debut album from Finland's Poisonblack. The band is the brain-child of Sentenced's Ville Laihiala. Century Media. 2003.
Trading his microphone for a guitar, Sentenced frontman Ville Laihila teamed with Finnish musicians J.P. Leppaluoto (vocals) and Janne Kukkonen (bass) to write Escapexstacy, an energetic album of goth metal songs. Unlike many bands in the genre, Poisonblack is an vigorous bunch, relying on somber keyboards and Leppaluoto's vampiric vocals to provide the gloom. Featuring huge, catchy ...

Darkness And Hope music CDs
$14.05 
2003 album from the female fronted Finnish symphonic goth/metal super group. 10 tracks including, 'Bless The Child', 'End Of All Hope' & 'Dead To The World'. Century Media.
Possibly the biggest success story in the history of Finnish heavy metal, Nightwish celebrated their second chart-topping album in their homeland with 2002's Century Child, which eventually collected numerous awards and went double platinum (60,000 units in Finland) within a year of release. The group's fourth LP overall, Century Child wisely repeated its predecessors' winning characteristics: symphony-enhanced power metal laced with accessible pop sensibilities (mostly straightforward song structures and romantic lyrics), distinguished by the operatic voice of classically trained singer Tarja Turunen. Undoubtedly the key to Nightwish's remarkable success (and since, hugely influential on countless followers like After Forever and Epica), Turunen is actually more restrained ...
| | Moonspell Antidote CD (2003)
Darkness And Hope songs
$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") mingle with lengthy, spacious excursions ("Lunar Still," "As We Eternally Sleep on It") and exemplary fist-pumping anthems that toe the line between the black/death metal grit and commercial sheen ...
