The Portuguese band Moonspell is around for 15 years and release now a best-of in their anniversary year. Through the years their music changed a bit... In the early years it was black / gothic metal, later instead of black metal elements they used folk and lately they go for gothic metal.
The songs are in chronological order and so they kick off with Wolfshade (A Werewolf Masquerade) I think it's a good idea to present the songs this way, coz so you see the development the band made in 1 frac12; decade. And so the first track shows their black metal infused gothic. So they take you on a trip through their career including songs like Alma Mater, Opium, Lustmord, Nocturna and Finisterra.
A cool collection, but it would have been great to add some songs which were only released as bonus or something like that, coz their fans will have the albums anyway. So this is more for people who want to learn more about the Portuguese.
