Biography
Moonspell was formed in Brandoa, Portugal, in the middle of 1989 under the name Morbid God. The frontman of the band was already from the beginning Langsuyar, or Fernando Ribeiro as his real name is. He wrote all the band’s lyrics and also created a new original sound by mixing elements of black metal, gothic music and classic heavy metal. Langsuyar means vampire and was adopted from the babylonian tradition where it represented a creature that attacked during the night. In the early days of the band they had stronger black metal influences since most of the members came from that scene but they have later adopted more of a mellow gothic rock sound, a little similar to Lacuna Coil and the likes.

Fernando: Hard to say…I tend to move on from everything. To be in a band is to enjoy good and bad moments, yet I refuse to be stuck in any of those. Forward is the way! I remember such random things as a fan in Istanbul asking for my DNA, or getting away from a Mexican riot, but also to bring the news of his father’s death to our guitar player. It’s a rollercoaster, really.
Pix666: Your album ‘Extinct’ reached number 1 in the charts in Portugal in 2015. Was that also something very special for you and the band?
Fernando: Yes and no. The best moment ist hat when you finish your album and are happy with it. All rest is vanity and makes you crazy and self-indu
