Moonspell have shared another track and live video, "Extinct", from their Opus Diabolicum album, out this Friday, 31 October, on Napalm Records. The anthemic title track belongs to the band's iconic 2015 studio offering. The orchestral arrangements added new depth to the song's apocalyptic beauty, while Fernando Ribeiro's commanding vocals reach chilling new heights.
"'Extinct' was quite a landmark for us and helped us to shake off some of the heavy legacy of our early albums, something very needed by the band. It was certainly celebrated by our wolfpack all around the world and created new anthems live, and fresh memories. No wonder we picked up some of it and gave it the 'orchestral treatment' as in the original songs we'd already recorded with a The Mumim Sezler string group, from Turkey. It was challenging for the musicians to recreate that oriental flair, but in the end it all came together and it sounds powerful and tasteful. With Opus Diabolicum, we wanted to bring together the power of heavy metal and the magnitude of orchestral, without sweetening the deal or watering it down for gentle ears. This is Moonspell full force, backed by an orchestra. Enjoy it, thanks for sharing, and stay tuned for our new album next year!", says the frontman.
