THE MOON & THE NIGHTSPIRIT - Back with new album ‘Ösforrás’

The Hungarian duo, consisting of Agnes Toth and Mihaly Szabo, embarks on its third mystical journey into the purple kingdom of dreams, long forgotten by mankind. A journey; a journey accompanied by pagan fables, old Hungarian myths, and nature itself. Specialists, hobby admirers and sinister connoisseurs describe the music with terms like Pagan, New-, or Neo Folk, ambient or ethereal pop. It’s about music wanting to take off of the lowlands of every day’s rush and the Western consumer society, seeking and conjuring old and new virtues that seemingly got lost in this meaningless fun modernity. Their debut ‘Of dreams forgotten and fables untold’ roused broad attention even outside of the dark romantic scene. The second album ‘Regö Rejtem’ encompassed a spectrum from old Hungarian minstrel songs ‘Ich bezaubere mit Magie’ to shamanism on a journey into bygone epochs and awoke the ancestors’ spirits at the fires of old Mayan druids.

Their music became more colourful and diversified through the incorporation of various ethnic instruments such as Kaval, Jewish harp or zither. It became more energetic and vibrant without losing the unique, transcending authenticity of the debut. Agnes’ angelic voice shapes the duo’s sound, whereas Mihaly sets raw accents occasionally. The mystical spirit of medieval times is conjured. Their music also enjoys great popularity with modern Folk and Pagan metal heads and fantasy fans. The tour led them through renowned events like rolls et Legendes (Belgium), Wave-Gotik-Treffen (Germany) and Castle Party (Poland), and with artists such as CORVUS CORAX, FAUN, BLACKMOORE’S NIGHT and KOORPIKLAANI. The new album ‘Ösforra´s’ will be available in two formats: As digipak CD with booklet and as ‘Collector’s Edition’ coming as digi-book in a hardcover packing with the measurements 19,5cm x 14cm (Limited to 1000 copies). The collector’s edition as well features an exclusive bonus track with guest appearances by Catarina Raposo (Dwelling), Saskia Dommisse (Poets to their Beloved) and Alessandra Santovito (Hexperos).
