"Originally released in 2001 and celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, MOONSPELL’s fifth album, Darkness and Hope, caught the band in a strange crossroad upon its debut. Their first four records saw them skyrocketing from Portugal into Gothic Metal stardom, yet their almost violent musical swings left a lot of their fans confused and unaware of what to expect next. Nonetheless, Darkness and Hope was the ticket for many followers of the band to continue   their   journey   with   the   Portuguese   wolves. The   reconciliatory   album,   lost   in between   the   light   and   the   shadow,   included   amazing   melancholic   anthems   such   as 'Nocturna', 'How We Became Fire' and 'Than The Serpents In My Arms' – not to mention the inclusion of tracks delivering MOONSPELL‘s very own brand of infectious gothic metal like classics 'Firewalking' or 'Devilred'!
