MOONSPELL
"THE ANTIDOTE REISSUE"
Dark/ Black Metal
Year:29.09.2023
(NAPALM RECORDS)

The beauty of horror, the horror of beauty.Originally released by Century Media back in 2003, The Antidote is yet another Moonspell album that drifted off the paths of the trendy symphonic metal that dominated the scene at the time. It’s a record that laughed at the softening powers in power metal that began poisoning the scene 20 years ago. Thus… it has been, again, misunderstood by the fans and the press alike. That didn’t stop The Antidote from becoming a long ago out of print, sold-out record and an unnamed classic in its own right.To properly celebrate its two decades of life, The Antidote will be re-released via Napalm Records on September 29, 2023, under exclusive licensing from Century Media. Exactly 20 years after its original release, Moonspell will o...

Unlike my last two albums there wasn’t a ‘theme’, it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each song’s individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say it’s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon and me...

Anxiety, relief, and resolve are stitched deeply throughout. When the foursome was isolated in Pennsylvania and New York, turning stems of music into full-fledged songs felt insurmountable.
