Moonspell will be releasing their new album, 1755, on November 3rd via Napalm Records. What can fans expect? The band previously released this statement, “It’s a poetic, musical and philosophical reflection about the tragic event that took place on the 1st of November of 1755 in Lisbon, decimating the entire city. It’s mostly a metal record, with vibrant riffs, epic orchestration and vocals and lyrics, which invoke the agony of that day. There will be lots of fusion, percussion and a melodic approach to that time and to the atmosphere the great city of Lisbon enjoyed back then. There will be ten powerful, surprising songs that echo remotely to some of Moonspell previous efforts like ‘Under The Moonspell’ or ‘Alpha Noir’. But make no mistake! This is Moonspell as you never heard them before!”

The gothic metallers have already shared the ‘Todos Os Santos’ and ‘Evento’ singles online, and today you can hear the special bonus track from the upcoming release. Unlike the rest of 1755, which was recorded in their native Portuguese language, ‘Desastre’ is a dark and powerful track sung entirely in Spanish.

Vocalist Fernando Ribeiro adds, “‘Desastre’ is a homage to all our Spanish-speaking fans around the world. In the late 18th century, in our streets a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese was spoken and guess what that’s exactly what we do here! This song is about how the earthquake took Lisbon by surprise and how we are nothing but a a human leave left alone to break when a strong winds blows. Enjoy Desastre, gracias y saludos!“
