Ricardo Amorim songs While UNDER SATANAE collects the tracks from the black metal band Moonspell's indie release and demos from the early-1990s, it's more than a re-release. For this 2007 collection, the Portuguese band has rerecorded their 1994 demo UNDER THE MOONLIGHT and other tracks from the five-piece's earliest days. What ensues is polished and lushly melodic, yet vicious and unadulterated. Fernando Ribiero's lilting-gruff vocals rip into poems that recount the ongoing battle between the light and the dark in a sensual tone which ...

Ricardo Amorim discography 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 ...

Ricardo Amorim albums 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 ...
