Moonspell was formed in 1992, though they had been playing since '89 under the name 'Morbid God'. They had initially made a name for themselves with the release of their demo "Anno Satana", and the mini-album "Under The Moonspell". These were essentially black metal releases that had gone down very well with fans of the genre.

However, for their debut album, "WolfHeart", Moonspell adopted a more distinct and innovative Gothic style. Though this came as a surprise, the album was immediately lapped up by the fans and was acclaimed by critics. It remains till date, the best Moonspell album, with its success stemming largely from the amazing vocals of Langsuyar, i.e. Fernando Ribiero and the highly original folk-inspired music.

The music is mostly guitar-based, with some excellent keyboards accompanying it, which make for some real eerie atmospheric sounds. The female vocals by Birgit Zacher on tracks like "Love Crimes" offer total contrast to Fernando's powerful vocals. All the songs have a certain exotic appeal to them, which makes you want to play the album over and again. The lyrics deal with legends and lore of the night. Werewolves, witches, love and lust, and the eternally enchanted.
