On their third album, "Ösforrás" - the “Source Pristine”, the duo embody on their new material a more tribal and exotic approach, in intense rituals dedicated to the old and eternal tradition, where World Music acquires a bewitching Pagan aura.

Brought to life in 2003, the Hungarian entity known as The Moon and the Nightspirit has since been crafting a distinct
artistic signature, reflected not only in their music but also in the unique visual universe that illustrates their work.
Ágnes, a skilled singer and multi-instrumentist, is also the talented lady responsible for the paintings which bring to The Moon
and the Nightspirit’s music a fantasy-setting populated by creatures that trace back to traditional Hungarian legends and
folklore. These memories of times forgotten also echo through the lyrics written by guitarist Mihály, which outline the spiritual
mindset behind the project.
Such a combination has been greeted with growing enthusiasm since the release of their 2005 debut album on Equilibrium
Music, “Of Dreams Forgotten and Fables Untold”, and the early shows that followed, which included an appearance on
Hungarian National Television. Later, and in support of “Regõ Rejtem”, their second album, The Moon and the
Nightspirit had the opportunity to tour throughout most of Europe. Playing in small fair markets and large festivals alike,
including prestigious events such as Trolls et Legendes (Belgium), Wave-Gotik-Treffen (Germany) and Castle
Party (Poland), the band shared the stage with names like Corvus Corax, Faun, Blackmore’s Night or
Korpiklaani, and gradually conquered a prominent role in the Pagan/Folk scene.
Returning with “Ösforrás”, their third album, the duo invite the listener to the star-woven realm of the wise elders, the
ones who knew the secrets of nature and walked the path of light eternal, and embody on their new material a more tribal and exotic
approach, in intense rituals dedicated to the old and eternal tradition.
This collection of songs, which feed from the Ösforrás - the “Source Pristine”, the primordial womb, from which all has sprung, a
sacred place where all is one - comes together as an offering to the slumbering gods of the old forests, streams and stones.
Weaving a web where threads of ancient mysticism combine with dreamy atmospheres, where World Music acquires a bewitching Pagan
aura, The Moon and the Nightspirit live up to their potential as one of the most exciting and refreshing acts in the genre.
“Ösforrás” will be released by Equilibrium Music, in two formats: Digipak CD with booklet, and collector’s edition
hard-cover 19,5cm x 14cm Digibook (limited to 1000 copies), with full-colour booklet including large reproductions of several
paintings created for this purpose. The collector’s edition also includes one exclusive bonus track featuring guest appearances by
Catarina Raposo (Dwelling), Saskia Dommisse (Poets to their Beloved) and Alessandra Santovito (Hexperos). |
