MOONSPELL members
Fernando Ribeiro (vocals) and
Ricardo Amorim (guitar) will perform a short acoustic set on the biggest morning radio show on Portugal's national radio on Monday, May 19 beginning at around 7:00 a.m.
To listen to the program, go to
www.antena3.pt and then look for "Manhãs da 3."
MOONSPELL's video for the track
"Scorpion Flower" can be viewed below. The clip is one of two (along with
"Night Eternal") off the group's new album,
"Night Eternal", which were shot by
Ivan Colic (
TYPE O NEGATIVE,
SYMPHONY X,
HAMMERFALL) in Belgrade, Serbia.
Colic previously worked with the group on the
"Memorial" video for
"Finisterra".
"Night Eternal" is scheduled for release in Europe on May 19 and in the U.S. on June 10 via
SPV/
Steamhammer. The follow-up to 2006's
"Memorial" was recorded at
Antfarm studios in Denmark with producer
Tue Madsen (
THE HAUNTED,
DARK TRANQUILLITY,
HALFORD).
There will be, at first, two editions of the record: A limited double digipack with different artwork, one bonus track (
"Age of Mothers"), a different version of the song
"Scorpion Flower", the full album as well as a bonus DVD containing all video clips from
"Memorial" plus
"Finisterra" "making-of" footage and three live clips from last year's performance at the
Wacken Open Air festival in Germany; plus the jewel case edition, to which the band hopes to add at least another bonus song.
