1st of all I did not enjoy the bands that preceded Moonspell. How ever I am in a way happy that they weren't my style; due to the fact I would have used energy that could have been used to rock out w/ Moonspell. (Which I did) They were absolutely amazing, I saw them last year at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, and they keep getting more and more powerful! The set list was incredible:
They started off w/ a song that is near and dear to my heart: "At Tragic Heights"
Then they played the title track to their latest album, "Night Eternal", always a winner.
They're stage presence was incredible for the entirety of the show, but they especially showed their metallic nature of great performance in "Finisterra" and "The Southern Deathstyle". After that the show kept getting better as they played a song off of their debut album Wolfheart; "Wolfshade (A Werewolf Masquerade)". And then some crowd favorites, two songs that every one can sing along to, "Opium" and "Scorpion Flower", and might I add, they pulled it off flawlessly! Next up, "Moon In Mercury'', I love the way Mike starts this song with fast paced drumming and Fernando lets out a bone crushing yell! Epic! You're a beast Evil One, this song takes me back to a simpler time, "Vampiria", Supposedly their last song was to be ''Mephisto'', but the whole crowd went wild, calling their name, MOONSPELL, MOONSPELL, MOONSPELL. The came and played two encores, "Alma Mater" and "Full Moon Madness" where Fernando Gets a couple drum sticks and bashes on the symbols along w/ Mike! After the show, the whole band was humble enough to sign any memorabilia that the fans might have, they signed my ticket! I had a chance to talk to Fernando before the show and he was so amazing, he talked to my friend and me as if we were long time friends. All in all, one of the best shows I have ever gone to. I thank Mike, Aires, Pedro, Ricardo, and the Immortal Fernando. Come back soon!
