Moonspell
1755

A brilliant mix of Goth / Prog Metal style songs with lots of growling vocals, great orchestration and choir (stuff always sounds Oman-y0). Concept for the album is focussed around the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 (although again I cant understand a word in Portugal)

"1755" - twelfth full-length Moonspell album, which details a catastrophic earthquake that occurred in the band’s native Portugal that year and features lyrics delivered entirely in Portuguese. It’s still a decent album that will appeal to fans of Moonspell’s harsher side, but I feel that albums like Wolfheart and The Antidote were better at displaying the band’s more ambitious tendencies.Faithful Moonspell supporters should purchase this album. Occasional listeners might have quite some problems to digest this release.

Moonspell's 1755 was released on CD with a distinct cover, one bonus track (Desastre, in Spanish) and a great booklet, which are not present on vinyl versions.

Moonspell creó con este disco una joya. Si eres fan de la banda y te gustan los trabajos sinfonicos mezclados con metal, este puede ser un disco que te gustara mucho. Considero que los miembros de la banda han hecho un trabajo bien pensado y apegado a la historia de su pais natal. Nos cuentan como un hecho de la naturaleza devastó prácticamente en su totalidad su ciudad capital hace muchos años. El arte esta bien concebido de acuerdo a cada track del disco.
