Portuguese metal legends Moonspell have already shared some details about their new album 1755 back in March and the time has come for more exciting news, including the official release date set for November 3rd, via Napalm Records.

Comments the band: "1755 is a poetic, musical and philosophical reflection of the band about the tragic event that took place on the 1st of November of 1755 in Lisbon, decimating the entire city. It's mostly a metal record, with vibrant riffs, epic orchestration and vocals and lyrics which invoke the agony of that day.

"There will be ten powerful, surprising songs that echo remotely to some of Moonspell previous efforts like Under The Moonspell or Alpha Noir. But make no mistake! This is Moonspell as you never heard them before, with the fire of their native language Portuguese and 900 years of history to unveil!"

Moreover, Moonspell will play three special shows: on the 30th and 31st of October in their hometown in Lisbon and a day later in Porto. The band will play their latest opus in its entirety, together with other songs which rarely appear on Moonspell's setlists. The tickets are available here.

At the shows, you will have the chance to buy the upcoming record exclusively and straight from the band.
