Moonspell present on their latest album fresh, strengthened and unbound to any genre limit. Emerged from these principles, the most epic and courageous in my opinion Moonspell album for well over a decade. Extinct is straightforward, stylish orchestrated Dark and Gothic Metal of toying often with the Sisters Of Mercy. All 10 songs make it easy to build the not repeat itself but always knows how to set a new course a dense atmosphere of melancholy and morbid romanticism. It is also important to say, that just does not support the Portuguese combo with Extinct on the kitsch and frills large area known for Gothic Metal. Perform hardness, catchiness, bombast and atmosphere together positively.
Extinct is certainly some again, though not spit all oldschool fans neat feet. Because if Black Metal, Depeche Mode or Daconian Times Standard, that's for Fernando and his men to the present time just not interesting. What's Moonspell always do one hundred percent Moonspell, no matter what genre they peddle straight. After some weakening Doppler Alpha Noire / Omega White this extraordinary lineup with Extinct reflects very clearly understand that things like independence and self-will in the metal scene are not crimes and also may not be. They created an album that can be seen with security as one of the strongest of the band's history. Who knows, maybe one may go so far as to speak at Extinct by the Goth / Dark Metal Release 2015? That may decide at any themselves. For me this album is already one of the best of the year! For both old and new fans, I recommend try!
Anspieltipps (the whole plate, but here those tracks that clearly stand out for me):
Breathe (Until We Are No More) outstanding brute-melodic opener!
Extinct Gothic / Dark Metal as it should sound in 2015. Hard, spherical, informal. Excellent!
Medusalem A huge song that pays homage with imploring chorus and an oriental touch to the home.
Domina Brilliant song, which are teeming with catchiness! Repeat please!
Funeral Bloom Intensive Rocker with insanely great chorus.
The Future Is Dark The most epic piece since lanem in alternative Moonspell story.
La Baphomette highly individualistic as highly original conclusion of a holistically successful publication!
