Moonspell Debuts New Music Video "Cross Your Heart"

Portuguese dark metal pioneers Moonspell return with "Cross Your Heart," the next haunting chapter from their forthcoming studio album, "Far From God," which will be released on 3rd July via Napalm Records. You can check out the video below.

"Cross Your Heart" follows the release of the album title track "Far From God" which received an overwhelmingly positive response from fans worldwide, with both the single and its official music video rapidly gaining strong streaming numbers across platforms. Where "Far From God" explored tragic vampiric romance and the spiritual decay of modern Gothic metal, "Cross Your Heart" turns its gaze toward the endless roads that connect and separate us. Blending the classic atmosphere of the band’s legendary Irreligious era with a modern and sharper edge, the song unfolds as a dark, melancholic and emotionally gripping anthem. Driven by brooding melodies, grounded riffing and emotional depth, "Cross Your Heart" pairs Fernando Ribeiro’s unmistakable vocals with a reflection on mortality, memory and the fragile nature of life spent in motion.

Fernando Ribeiro comments on the track: "Reminiscent of 'Irreligious' with a modern and dark twist, this Gothic metal song tells us about the shrines that we can frequently find on the roads of all countries in the world and that are erected as a painful memory to those who departed in car and bike crashes, often too soon, every time too painfully. Like a band who made miles upon miles and a few crashes themselves, we are privileged observers of the daily and nightly life on the roads, the promised cities, the bitter disappointments, the anguish of a portable life. Before such powers we can only cross our heart and hope to live enough before our time does come."
