Label: Napalm Reissued 2021, Originally released 2001 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' & 'Devilred'! MOONSPELL may be celebrating 20 years of Darkness and Hope in glorious style, but they once again prove in this day and age that they are still the hopeful kings of the dark!"
