Septicflesh + Moonspell Concert Night

Yesterday was concert night at Oporto's Hard Club to see Septicflesh and Moonspell.

Septicflesh was a pleasant surprise. The power of the amazing album "Titan" was there alive. Fabulous sound and environment. Great job guys....Hope to see you soon again. 

But it was Moonspell night for road to extinction tour. Amazing 2 hour concert with ups and downs.
Extinct was played almost totally. Except for "la baphomete" which isn't quite what a Moonspell fan expects. From Extinct they played Breathe as the opening song followed by Extinct. Also played Medusalem which in my opinion is not a song to play live. It kind of looses all the atmosphere in stage. Still from Extinct Moonspell played Domina, The Last of Us, Funeral Bloom, A Dying Breed and the future is dark. All this left the crowd with less time for the classic songs. From Alha Noir only Night Ethernal and Em Nome do Medo was played. From Wolfheart the highlight was Alma Mater added with a couple of other surprises. From Irreligious Awake, Opium and Fullmoon Madness. A great night. But focus on Extinct left us missing Nocturna, Everything Invaded and much more.

But still a Great Night

Moonspell - Alpha Noir & Omega White Review

After the perfect and not easy to exceed "Night Eternal" Moonspell released this April a double album.
Moonspell have named the double cd release with different names for each media ("Alpha Noir" & "Omega White"). And as you listen to the albums it is perfectly clear why they have chosen to do so.
"Alpha Noir" has powerful and heavy songs. "Omega White" is soft and smooth.

If I had to choose one of the CD, I would choose "Alpa Noir". The masses would certainly prefer "Omega White".


"Alpha Noir"
1 - Axis Mundi - good intro. Will certainly be used as intro for concerts.
2 - Lickanthrope - see video on this post Lickanthrope Video.
3 - Versus - Heavy song!! Will certainly be amazing live.
4 - Alpha Noir - Another song to see the crowd explode in a concert.
5 - Em Nome do Medo - Amazing Song with lyrics in Portuguese. See my translation.
6 - Opera Carne - "Our flesh burns in mysterious ways" Fantastic!!!
7 - Love is Blasphemy - Another song I will like to see live.
8 - Grandstand - "What doesn't kill, hurts us!"
9 - Sine Missione - Good dark closing for the album.

"Omega White"
1 - White Omega - the beginning of a dream.
2 - White Skies - see the video teaser.
3 - Fireseason - good smooth voice on a dream song. 
4 - New Tears Eve - another set of good sound.
5 - Herodisiac - another song to dream. Good chorus of voices.
6 - Incantatrix - smooth and soft.
7 - Sacrificial - Amazing Song.
8 - A Greater Darkness - the end of the dream.

Besides other posts for this new album, Here is another set of choices.
Don't forget to buy this album!!! It's worth every penny!!
