Overview Edit

Memorial is Moonspell's seventh full-length album, released on April 24, 2006 by SPV. The album is available in twoversions: a standard edition and a limited 'digipack' edition with the "Atlantic" bonus track.

On January 16, 2007, Memorial was certified gold by the Associação Fonográfica Portuguesa for selling over 10,000 copies in Portugal. This is the first time a Portuguese heavy metal group has received this award.

Each of the limited versions and the standard edition end with a different song, but on every version the final track ends with a 6 minute wolfs-howling outro ("The Sleep of the Sea"), hence there are actually two official versions of "Best Forgotten".

5 stars Another Almost Perfect Album from Moonspell
In this Portugese bands' latest release, their sound gets even darker and heavier. Fernando Ribiero does a decent job on vocals overall, but the real highlight of this album is its musical variety. Most of the vocals are death growls. This is not a problem, as Moonspell's music is complex and shows much emotion compared to some of their contemporaries. There are few Goth Metal bands that have as powerful a sound as Moonspell. This disc is no exception. It is hard to pick favorite songs of this a…

THis is their worst album in their entire career. Its simply amazingly boring album with no good moments at all. only for moonspell collectors.
