Moonspell is a band from Portugal, initially formed in 1989 as "Morbid God" by Fernando Ribeiro (vocals), Ares (bass guitar) and two of the bands former members as a black metal band. The band has often been described as doom-death and gothic-doom with several groups of critics and fans arguing between which of the two doom metal forms they truly belong to. Ribeiro, the band's vocalist however has stressed that "devilish music" would be a more appropriate term, as he often cites Luciferian Saga as an important influence to the band. The band was changing it's style through the years. It's started as black metal band ("Anno Satanae"), and after becoming more folkish ("Under the Moonspell", "Wolfheart") or more gothish ("Irreligious") Moonspell started to use many electronic elements ("Sin/Pecado", "The Butterfly Effect").

...Of Dream And Drama (Midnight Ride) Lyrics
Moonspell
You've no mother to feed you or to lick your so deep wounds
nor Earth where to lay your timid crown
You've suffered by your father and even the Moon lies to you
When she shines...
The seduction of an altar
Is a weakness in her movements of Death
It is a mere vanity of Woman to delay her midnight ride
Suicide... Midnight ride...
Beautiful dagger you may now leave your case Wild red tears at the lady's hand
Kissed were her breasts with your sharpened face
Given is now what Love had taken death and Love, they together danced
Yes, the flames did smile to her
Invited her to their fiery peace
To a funebre dance around a bonfire
Where all Women are naked and alone
Immolating their pride
May they forever ride. Far, in a midnight crime.
Midnight Ride, Suicide, Midnight Ride...
