S.06 E.09 – Fernando Ribeiro of Moonspell

Send us Fan MailThe music in the beautiful country of Portugal is widely known for their artistry in classical, folk, fado and rock/blues genres. In addition to that awe, we bring you the heavily praised and influential metal band Moonspell from the capital city of Lisbon. Frontman Fernando Ribeiro joins IUF today to talk about the growth of Moonspell's impact throughout 3 decades of dark and gothic metal extraordinaire. Now approaching the 30th anniversary of the band, Fernando remains humble yet proud that he has reached this point in his career, with plenty more left to achieve. The new album “Hermitage” is the band's latest offering and their 13th chapter in the catalog, and we ask Fernando on how important it is to stay musically true to themselves yet still expand on that established sound. 13 albums is not an easy feat to accomplish, but here they are doing what they do best – and they do it well. From the heavy and atmospheric tones, to the ethereal patterns and melodic grooves, it's promised to not only be another favorite for the Moonspell fans, but for all the metalheads around the world. Tune into our episode with Fernando and buy/stream Moonspell's newest gothic epic titled “Hermitage” out February 26th on Napalm Records.
