fans have changed a lot though. We are use to having great festivals and shows these days! But a lot on mainstream bands and not so many the club tours with all kinds of metal!  We just played Rock n Rio and we had 50,000 people. Metallica headlined of coarse but still impressive for a country that has so much of a hard rock History. I hope this new generation might have a chance in changing things. But other southern countries in Europe have the same problem and are much bigger than us. Not easy I guess!

ADRENALIN:  What is the next direction for Moonspell?

MIKE: Well the albums and tours take us always in some direction. Our lives as they develop also have a lot to do what we hear in our music. I still want to be one of the biggest metal bands from our time!!!

ADRENALIN:  You indicated on myspace that you give taekwondo lessons. How long have you been doing that?

MIKE: Many years! I started as a kid in the states when I lived there. But then when I was 12 I moved to Portugal and all I could think of was getting a band. Later in life in my early 20´s I had already done albums up to Sin and toured with the best bands around but still I felt I missed  something? I went and started training and 10 years later I am still doing it and teaching. I will never stop I think!!

ADRENALIN:  Can you tell us a little about your current tour?

MIKE: We are doing shows all over Europe and festivals. It's the best time to get to more people. We have a new album so it´s perfect. In October we will tour with Dimmu and Danzig in the states. I am looking forward to this tour. I think we will make a lot of cool fans!!! In December, we hook up with our old mates Cradle and do some more mayhem in Europe. That tour will be like a celebration. We always have fun with Cradle!!

ADRENALIN:  Is the dvd out that you were referring to in the last interview?   If so, what is the title?

MIKE: I still can´t say! sorry! he he   But it will finally be out this October. We should talk about it when people see our long history and our thoughts.  It´s our first real DVD. Weird since so many bands have them. Finally our movie will be out.

ADRENALIN:  Are you pleased with your new release "Night Eternal"? What is your favorite track from that?
