Moonspell

He's already raced off to his car to listen, well, to grab his coffee and, you know, all the stuff he does on the way out.

I am going to start off today with a band from Scotland called And they're a widely known band, respected for their gothic, neoclassical chamber music.

Yes, you heard right.

This is their song, very appropriate coming into Halloween, Moonspell.

We have to mention Picket Fences.

He's co-star in Picket Fences with, well, Kathy Baker.

She came forward this morning and said, my heart is broken to hear of the passing of Deer Lovely, loving Tom, my TV husband, my partner, my darling friend.

She told this to People Magazine.

Now, I mentioned, uh, we'll jump into concerts.

As I mentioned, uh, with Cradle of Filth, I mentioned that because they are on tour at the moment, um, and they were supposed to be with Moonspell, but Moonspell wasn't let into the country.

And so they were swapped with Wyrm.

So Wyrm and, uh, Blackbraid are the openers on that, on that Cradle of Filth tour, which is well underway, but halfway through at this point.

But, uh, I bring it up because not only did Moonspell not get their visas in time, Archgoat was just flat out denied, despite coming to this country a million times, as have Moonspell.

Archgoat was just flat denied.

So they were supposed to play Mass Destruction Fest in Atlanta and then do a handful of shows, I think, New York, LA, and Chicago, maybe, or just New York and LA.

Nonetheless, in November, that's canceled because they were just denied and Moonspell's were delayed to the point that it became... impossible to make the shows happen, which is just crazy, so, you know, this sucks for the future of these shows if these, like, established bands that tour a lot aren't getting let in, but time will tell.

It's Catatonia.

It's Moonspell.

It's Tristania.

It's Mortis, you know.

Meshuggah, Nun EP, pretty good.

Moonspell, Under the Moonspell, debut EP, Matari Crew, eponymous.

The best one.

I was explaining to the kid about how they've never re-released that, and it's just such bullshit that they won't.

They're just doing, like, what they do with a great mixture of kind of building off of 90s.

You know, like, they're kind of like, you know, in the 90s, you had bands like Moonspell and early Catatonia, Paradise Lost.

All these bands were kind of like... somehow melding all these different influences together into that sound you had.

I feel like they built from that into their own thing.

I want to say it was not on the tour for As Shadows Burn.

It was before that, The Forgotten Goddess, and they were one of the opening bands on the Moonspell tour.

Let's see, it was Daylight Dies, Moonspell, Catatonia, and Echoes of Eternity.

Yeah, I think that was the bill.

I wasn't able to interview Francine, but I got her to record a liner for the station.
