MOONSPELL are currently finishing work for a contemporary dance piece based upon the popular tradition about the devil in Portugal. The play will premiere on January 2005 at the prestigious auditorium of the Gulbenkian Foundation. Last but not the least, MOONSPELL are working hard to complete their upcoming album. Around eight songs have been completed for the CD, which is rumoured to see the group returning to a more epic and even darker path in their music with the heavy return of symphonic keyboard arrangements.

Singer Fernando Ribeiro is still on the road in Portugal promoting his last poetry book ("The Essential Wounds") that has already sold out its first edition. After having completed the translation of a fictional biography of H.P. Lovecraft (originally edited by DC Comics) into Portuguese he is preparing more translations of this author as well as his first short novel.
