Moonspell present what might be the most important album ever to be released by this legendary Portuguese Metal band. With a renewed focus, they have risen to a new level so as to reclaim their throne as the leading European Dark Metal band. Alpha Noir is a nine-track outburst that shows us a much more incendiary band than in the past. With an avalanche of memorable guitar work, deeply rooted in the Thrash Metal of legends, Moonspell perfectly combines it with their own brand of Southern black metal, which they have been crafting since their debut offering, Wolfheart.
