Moonspell are working on the yet untitled follow up to the largely acclaimed "Memorial", and they are pre-producing it in Portugal with Waldemar Sorychta (Wolfheart, Irreligious, Sin, Memorial) this November from the 16th to the 30th.
Studio is booked now for January 2008 at Antfarm in Denmark with Tue Madsen who worked with the band on the re-recordings of the EP and the demos. "Under Satanae" collected ravishing response and review everywhere and it even charted in their home country (number #12) where they played an one off show in Lisbon Coliseum whose setlist was comprised of all titles of this release to 3500 surrendered fans.

On related news, Fernando Ribeiro, Moonspell singer has just finished translating "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson to Portuguese, it's the first time it's printed in his native language. He commented on it: "Hard work but a pleasant time inside Robert's Neville boarded house and mind" The major motion picture with Will Smith is coming out on 12/14/07, two weeks later in Portugal and the book is coming out on the 5th of the same month.

All the shows this year have been postponed in order to allow the band some time to work on their new opus. Some words from the band: "It's still hard to say which direction it will proceed but so far there are great, great songs, full of mystical power and crushing atmospheres. A few classical Metal elements have been added to the songs, Black Metal and Gothic are also influences that are very important and we just want to take "Memorial" a step up but without loosing the enthusiasm of discovering and applying new elements to our music. The lyrical content is very fierce, spiritual and mostly pagan in the way it will be an really connected with the Earth and with the fact she is indeed a woman..."
