Just days before the arrival of their highly anticipated new studio opus, Far From God, Portuguese gothic metal titans Moonspell have revealed another track, accompanied by a striking lyric video: "The Great Wolf In The Sky". The piece highlights the ensemble's unmistakable fusion of dark atmospheres, soaring melodies, and emotional intensity, offering yet another compelling glimpse of what is shaping up to be one of their most celebrated works to date.
Far From God is set to be issued this Friday, 3 July, via Napalm Records.
With "The Great Wolf In The Sky", Moonspell lift the veil on a sweeping gothic anthem driven by expansive keys, harmonised guitars, striking vocals, and a guest appearance by Alicia Nuhro on strings. Frontman Fernando Ribeiro reflects: "It's a shameless ode to the great gig in the sky and also a return for us to a theme that is very dear to us: wolves. This is one of my favourite songs ever for Moonspell, the keyboards sound like a melancholic wolf howling throughout the progress of the song into its epic chorus, that I feel so liberating, like if one took flight to the stars and met that wolf up there. It's one of the first songs that was written for this album and it has been gently nurtured for over 3 years or so. It tells the story of Moonspell, of the wolves who crossed our paths and went away from the pack, due to life circumstances of the inevitability of death. It bridges the many times of Moonspell, past, present and future and it has the shape of a new anthem that we do hope our fans embrace. It's also dedicated to a fan and a friend who, unfortunately, passed away before he could hear our new album".
