Moonspell in Cologne

Moonspell are a Portuguese metal band formed in 1992. Their music developed from the black-metal roots of Under the Moonspell into the gothic metal of Wolfheart and Irreligious; “Alma Mater,” “Opium” and “Full Moon Madness” became enduring parts of their catalogue. In the mid-1990s, Moonspell toured Europe as support for Type O Negative. In 2017, the band staged Lisboa Under the Spell at Campo Pequeno in Lisbon, performing Wolfheart, Irreligious and Extinct in full for a concert film and live album. Their festival history also includes repeated appearances at Wacken Open Air.
