Product Description

Portugals premiere metal band, MOONSPELL, return after two years of silence with The Antidote. MOONSPELL have been spearheading the gothic metal scene since the early Nineties and The Antidote is proof positive of the genius that has helped the band reach international acclaim. With The Antidote, not only have the band continued the maturation seen on each on of their releases so far but they have created some of the most dynamically powerful compositions of their career.

- 1st new album in over two years! Massive anticipation amongst the international metal community. - Seventh release overall from one of gothic metals most established artists. - The recording sessions featured Niclas Etelavuori of AMORPHIS on bass. - Produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (H.I.M., Sentenced, Apocalyptica) at Finvox Studios in Finland. - The band have toured the States twice in recent years with the likes of Lacuna Coil, Amorphis and The Kovenant.

We have found the "Antidote" to doom metal

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is the real s--t RIGHT HERE! As far as this being a concept album, I am oblivious to that, but there is more of a pagan-ish darkness to this which can give an inexperienced listener at first listen nightmares of the occult or vampires. Indeed, this album is not for all tastes. If you dig any underground goth / doom metal / or black metal. Stuff like Type O Negative, Paradise Lost, Cradle of Filth, Darkthrone, Dark Funeral, Burzum, just to name a few, than you should love every last drop of sinful, brutal energy this album has to offer to the very end, as it gradually calms down. Here is a track breakdown:

1. In and Above Men - 10/10
2. From Lowering Skies - 10/10
3. Everything Invaded - 10/10
4. The Southern Deathstyle - 8/10
5. Antidote - 10/10
6. Capricorn At Her Feet - 10/10
7. Lunar Still - 7/10
8. A Walk On The Darkside - 10/10
9. Crystal Gazing - 7/10
10. As We Eternally Sleep On It - 10/10

Beautifully Haunting/Hauntingly Beautiful

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2011

This is probably one of my favorite Moonspell albums. I would definately reccomend this one. The only thing that made me want to dock a point is there is an interactive story you can read on the disc, but why would I want to keep popping the cd/disc in to read the story? Seems silly right? I wish they would post the story online so I can read it while listening to the album. That is my only complaint, and actually that has nothing to do with the album itself but the multimedia included on it. If they made a downloadable version of the book, then I would be 100 percent happy. Very cool album, its beautiful, and haunting. This album is a piece of art, and I would highly reccomend it. Now, having said that, if you are new to Moonspell, I would not say this is their most accessable album, but much more accessable than The Butterfly Effect or Sin/Pecado.

First CD I bought by this band and I love it ! Some of the best drumming you will hear in Metal. This was my favorite album by Moonspell until Extinct came out. I am just sorry it took me so long to find this band ! Truly talented and very creative. More people need to give this band a chance. They deserve it. If you like Paradise Lost and Nightwish and melodic metal and don;t mind some gutteral singing that isn't deep like someone swallowed a frog and is trying to get to come back up then you will enjoy this CD.

The Moonspell was put on me, so I bought this record....

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2005

Ok metal fans, and music fans alike, this is Moonspell's latest spell, called "The Antidote". It's a really good album, and i'm really impressed. First off, I'd like to say that i'd heard this album way before I actually bought it, and didn't think it was that great, but then I heard "Everything Invaded", and I was hooked.

There are so many great songs on here that it's even hard for me to believe I skipped this one a year ago when I could've had it sooner. The Antidote is a fantastic album filled with dark, brooding, and sometimes beautiful music. It begins with the classicaly heavy "In and Above Men", which of course is a fan favorite. This song is heavy as hell, and Fernando does nothing but grunts and screams on this one.... it's excellent. Next is the exotic "From Lowering Skies" which features Fernando's clean vocals and a really cool drum beat. The chorus is a raging metal fest. Next is the melodic "Everything Invaded", with an amazing chorus (and when I say amazing, I mean amazing, it just fits so perfectly with the song). Up next is the mosher "The Southern Deathstyle", which really has some great sections where you can mosh to. Believe me, I know haha. Next is the title track, which really has some great guitar parts to it, and awesome lyrics. I love this song, however, something better awaits. "Capricorn at Her Feet" is an amazing 6 minute galactic metal song. Now when I say galactic don't expect some Star Wars metal song, but I mean this song has some REALLY trippy moments. Now I don't do drugs, but i'm sure those that do have a great time listening to this one. The Chorus is great, and Fernando's vocals shine on this one. However, the parts I am most talking about are the ending minutes, that also include the solo (which is one of my favorite solos that I have ever heard, and I can play it!) and some great synth work. Next up is the odd but still interesting "Lunar Still", which has this.... strangely enough, sinister moon feel. It sounds like something you would hear in the game Doom 3 (come to think of it, I should try playing that to this song!). It has a unique 3 minute intro of odd and intergalactic synth sounds, and then turns into a crushing intergalactic sinister doom metal song. "A walk on the Darkside" is a trip back to normality on this one, and is really just a hard rock doom metal song.... if that makes any sense. It's really fun to listen too. The end of this cd consists of "Crystal Gazing" and "As We Eternally Sleep on it", and strangely, I just consider these two as the same song, I don't know why, but I do. Anyway, "Crystal Gazing as we Eternally Sleep on it" is a really good ending to this cd, and sets the mood for the new Moonspell which I hear may be appearing sometime in 2005/2006?

Anyway, next time your in a cd store, and you see Moonspell, pick this one up... it's a great musical trip.

Just Plain Awesome!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2012

I've Never ReaIve Been A Fan Of Bands Such As Slipknot, Metallica, Korn And Manson For Years. Although I've Never Been Into The Whole Death Metal Genre. I Heard Of Moonspell Online And Listened To The Song 'In And Above Men' And I Was Hooked. I Got Moonspell The Antidote For Christmas Gift And I Was Blown Away. Some Death Metal Albums Every Song Sounds The Same But Not This One. The Vocals Are Crazy, And I The Guitar Work Is Phenomenal! Seriously People Buy This Album, You Will Not Be Disappointed! Here's My Rundown. My Favorite Songs Are In And Above Men, The Antidote, Capricorn At Her Feet, Walk On The Darkside, And The Amazing Ending Track As We Eternally Sleep On It. So Do Yourselves A Favor And Buy This. I Give It 5 out of 5.

Ein rundum gelungenes Album

Reviewed in Germany on January 25, 2014

Moonspell ist ja seit vielen Jahren eine der experimentierfreudigeren Bands.
Auf der einen Seite ist das natürlich sehr spannend, aber oft führt es auch dazu, dass man sich über
längeren Zeitraum erst einmal an das neue Werk gewöhnen muss.
Bei "The Antidote" ist das nicht so. Das Album geht direkt rein ins Ohr und will da auch so
schnell nicht mehr raus!

Die CD hört sich in eins durch. Melodic-Gothic-Metal in Höchstform. Brachiale Gitarren und echt eingängige Songs. Das geht in Mark und Bein.

Trovato e ascoltato il gruppo per caso su youtube. Ho ascoltato qualche pezzo e mi sono convinto a prendere il CD.

Per gli appassionati del genere merita sicuramente. Metal pesante e voci grosse (Death Metal).
