Moonspell - Win MTV Europe Award
As some of you probably already knew, Moonspell won MTV Europe's award for Best Portuguese Act last week, competing with multi-platinum Hip - Hop and Pop bands. This is the first time in history that a Metal band has won this award! The band has issued the following statement online:
"We won MTV Euro awards for best Portuguese act and wish to dedicate it to all people around the world who voted for us and helped Moonspell to become a stronger band and Portuguese Metal more known to the abroad scene! Thank you a million moons!!!"
Moonspell continue to tour in support of their new album "Memorial" which was released earlier this year through SPV / Steamhammer. The appropriately dubbed "Nocturnal Mourning" tour with special guests Katatonia and Daylight Dies.

Yeah I'm happy for them, this is a victory for the entire metal genre! So there is no doubt that Moonspell are the best Portuguese act!

Lordi wins the Eurovision and Moonspell the EMA's. Looks like Europe slowly is about to acquire a good taste in music.

I'm very proud of them, they really deserve it! There aren't much things that make proud of being portuguese, but this is definitely worth it!  Fernando Ribeiro's the man!

I'm actually a bit surprised that only Moonspell have won. If I recall correctly Lordi were nominated as Best Nordic Act and Lacuna Coil as Best Italian Act.
