Our Take

Portuguese gothic metal veterans Moonspell have once again ventured into the dark and ethereal with their latest album, "Hermitage." This record sees the band exploring new sonic territories while still maintaining their signature brooding sound.

The opening track, "The Greater Good," sets the mood with its haunting melodies and cascading vocals. Frontman Fernando Ribeiro's hypnotic voice draws listeners into a world of melancholy and introspection. The track "Common Prayers" further showcases the band's ability to blend beauty and brutality, with crushing riffs juxtaposed with delicate piano melodies.

"Hermitage" is a masterclass in atmosphere, with tracks like "All or Nothing" enveloping listeners in a shroud of darkness and despair. The band's use of orchestral elements adds layers of complexity to their already rich sound, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

However, not every moment on this album hits the mark. Tracks like "Without Rule" feel somewhat repetitive and lack the dynamism of the album's stronger moments. Despite this, "Hermitage" is a solid addition to Moonspell's discography and a must-listen for fans of gothic metal.

Overall, "Hermitage" is a captivating and brooding journey through the shadows, showcasing Moonspell's ability to blend beauty and darkness with finesse. While not every track is a standout, the album as a whole is a mesmerizing listening experience that will leave fans eagerly awaiting the band's next move.
