Dear all. After an impossibly annoying and considerable time, seems that our website will gain a new strength and, hopefully, importance in our life as a band. And of our fans.. The plan is that I take charge of most news, updates and here and there just plain and pure stories and messages. The plan is to have more quantity of information but also more quality, improving their timing. This intention will be obviously spread to all of the contents of the new site. I have been experiencing great moments with my personal blogs (written/available ony in Portuguese) and I would like to do the same with this one, sharing my feelings about the shows, the meetings, the moments in just one place, in English, with all of you, equally.

 confess I have stepped out permanently of the forum and hereby I justify my decision by shaping up and vitalizing this blog. The forum does not allow me to pass on the info the wait I think it's fair and most of the times that info is lost within the specific characteristics of some users, which I accept as the Forum's own nature but, quite often, disagree with in terms of behaviour and comments which go, sometimes, beyond being simple opinions. But, at any rate, we decide to keep it because we respect the fact that for some people the Forum is a companion and a way of life, which is a great thing to acknowledge. The virtual interviews section is permanently closed and so will be the antidote tour diary one. The diaries will be moved to the blog and we prefer, in the future, to create a press area or to give you links and tips on where to find interviews with Moonspell which cover everything you want to know because they are normally complete and in-depth.

Right now I am sitting in the studio in Denmark (Antfarm), coming back from a great experience in thy great Tuska Festival in Finland, looking forward to the next festival Waldrock in Holland next Saturday. Under Satanae is taking its final and monstrous shape and I am sure that the true Moonspell fans will be quite curious and fulfilled when they finally get to listen to it. We believe (but that's just us) we lived up to the originals and gave them a greater power, a greater beauty and a greater darkness. The final release date will be announced soon but be sure that October will be the month for being under the satanae spell.

For now I greet you all from the quietness of Denmark. Cheers!

Fernando
