Vinyl LP pressing. Originally released in 2001 and celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, MOONSPELL's fifth album, Darkness And Hope, captured the band at a pivotal moment. Following their earlier success in Gothic Metal, this album marked a shift that intrigued and engaged many fans. Featuring melancholic anthems like 'Nocturna', 'How We Became Fire', and 'Than The Serpents In My Arms', as well as infectious gothic metal tracks such as 'Firewalking' and 'Devilred', Darkness And Hope showcases MOONSPELL's unique musical style. Fernando Ribeiro reflects on the album's significance, stating, "Darkness And Hope is such a representative title for that period in our personal lives and also as musicians, as a band." This reissue of Darkness And Hope, including a cover of Ozzy Osbourne's 'Mr. Crowley', brings back the obscure elegance of the original album. MOONSPELL's enduring impact is evident as they celebrate 20 years of Darkness and Hope, solidifying their reign as the kings of the dark.
